The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X200 is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø20mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø50mm bore, 200mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD50X200 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X200 double-rod cylinder, featuring identical mechanical specifications. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for battery production lines, such as cell stacking and module handling. Because it is a double-rod actuator, the piston passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust in both directions: 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke model uses a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends and a PT1/4 port. It features adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. The body length A(SCD) is 207 mm, which is physically longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder to accommodate the through-rod design.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCD (double-rod) datasheet. Because the rod runs through both caps, the effective area is (bore² − rod²) in both directions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 825 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1155 N | 1155 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 168 kgf | |
Push and pull are EQUAL on a double-rod cylinder — both chambers lose the rod area, so effective area = (bore² − rod²) each way. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

Provides equal push and pull force for precisely pressing and aligning battery cells during automated stacking processes.
The through-rod design allows mounting tooling on both ends to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations symmetrically.
Dual rods offer better resistance to twist compared to single-rod units, ensuring stable alignment during battery tab welding.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa with non-rotating, dual-sided actuation. If your battery assembly line requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 528 N each way. If you need more power for heavy pack lifting, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional pushing and want a shorter overall envelope.
When replacing this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration exactly. Since the 200 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod, minimize side loading by using an external guide rail or a proper guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this cylinder is part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line. The B06-SCD50X200 is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X200, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and 50x200 mm dimensions.
No. The adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock or hold the load. If a battery pack must be held vertically without continuous air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve.
