The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD50X300 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X300. Mechanically, it is identical to the base model, featuring a 50 mm bore and a 300 mm stroke. Because the 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.
This symmetric thrust is highly advantageous on battery cell stacking and module handling lines, where a rear rod can carry a secondary tool or sensor flag. The cylinder uses a Ø20 mm rod on both ends, features adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length, and has a body length A(SCD) of 207 mm. At a maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it generates 1484 N of thrust in either direction.

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 stacking battery cells, using the dual rods to maintain parallel tooling alignment.
Drives a bidirectional shuttle table for moving battery modules between assembly stations, utilizing the rear rod for a counterweight or stopper.
Holds welding tooling on both ends to prevent rod twist during battery tab welding operations, ensuring consistent electrode contact.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of force both ways and a 300 mm stroke. If your battery assembly process requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way. Conversely, if you need to move heavier battery packs, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N. If the task only requires one-sided actuation, the single-rod AirTAC SC series is a simpler choice, while true high side-load conditions call for a dedicated guided cylinder rather than relying on the through-rod.
With a 300 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases, raising the risk of rod bending under offset loads. Use external guide rails to support the tooling and prevent premature bearing wear. For exact replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) is required.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard AirTAC SCD50X300. It is mechanically identical to the base model, offering the same 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and cannot lock or hold a load. If a battery module must be held without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve is required.
