Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300S 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.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300S
The B06-SCD50X300S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X300S. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a 50 mm bore and 300 mm stroke, using a 20 mm diameter rod that passes through both end caps. This through-rod geometry ensures the effective pressure area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
Because the rod protrudes from both ends, the cylinder provides superior anti-rotation characteristics and symmetric bearing loading compared to a single-rod unit. The included -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for position feedback. It uses a PT1/4 port, adjustable cushions with a 21 mm stroke length, and has a body length A(SCD) of 207 mm, making it longer than an equivalent single-rod SC cylinder.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 300 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-SCD50X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force for pressing and aligning prismatic battery cells during module stacking, ensuring consistent pressure on both strokes.
Shuttle Transfer Tables
Drives bidirectional transfer shuttles on battery pack assembly lines, using the rear rod extension to mount a stopper or sensor flag for symmetric automation.
Non-Rotating Tab Welding
Holds welding tooling on the front rod while the through-rod design resists torsional twist, maintaining electrode alignment during battery tab welding operations.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X300S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling mechanism requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way, whereas a 63 mm bore offers 1402 N for heavier pack manipulation. If you only need unidirectional pushing and do not require rear-end tooling or anti-rotation, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder will save space and cost. For high side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying on the through-rod.
At 300 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases, making the cylinder more susceptible to bending under lateral stress. To manage this, use an external guide rail to support the load rather than letting the rod absorb the bending moment. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option exactly.
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-SCD50X300S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard AirTAC SCD50X300S. It is mechanically identical to the base double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, and built-in magnet, without any changes to physical dimensions or sealing materials.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the load. If battery manufacturing processes require position holding without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve must be installed separately.
