Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225 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, 225mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225
The B06-SCD50X225 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it for battery-manufacturing lines, mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X225. Because the Ø20 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa (1484 N at 0.9 MPa). This symmetric thrust is ideal for cell stacking and tabbing operations requiring consistent two-sided actuation.
This unit features a 225 mm stroke, which is a non-standard made-to-order length (the standard range for this bore stops at 200 mm before jumping to 250 mm). It uses a PT1/4 port, incorporates adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston at stroke ends, and has a body length A(SCD) of 207 mm. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 225 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod thread | M16×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 21 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1200 mm |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm, double rod)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force ensures precise, symmetric pressure when pressing and indexing battery cells during module assembly.
Shuttle Transfer
The through-rod design allows tooling mounts on both ends, enabling a compact transfer shuttle that pushes and pulls loads equally.
Non-Rotating Pusher
Dual rods provide better resistance to twisting than a single-rod unit, keeping pusher plates aligned during tabbing operations.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of thrust in both directions. If your battery-handling mechanism requires less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (528 N each way); if you need to move heavier module packs, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N each way). If the mechanism only needs one-sided pushing and no rear-rod tooling, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact choice.
For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and no magnet. Because the 225 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod extension, avoid excessive side loads. Use an external guide rail or a proper guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
Double-rod checklist
- ✓ Need equal force / speed both directions?
- ✓ Rear rod for tooling, stopper or sensor flag?
- ✓ Better rod guidance / anti-rotation?
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Keep BOTH rod ends clear of side load and interference.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCD mounting accessory (FA / LB / TC / TCM1).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X225 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X225, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and 225 mm stroke, simply designated for battery industry applications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical thrust in both directions (825 N each way here at 0.5 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors and gives better anti-rotation resistance than a single-rod cylinder.
