Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X400S 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, 400mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X400S
The B06-SCD50X400S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X400S. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective 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.
Featuring a 400 mm stroke and a Ø20 rod extending from both ends, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides symmetric bearing loading and enhanced anti-rotation stability for dual-tooling setups. The built-in magnet (indicated by the S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for precise position detection. It includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X400S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X400S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 400 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-SCD50X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force ensures precise, symmetric pressure when pressing and aligning battery cells during module stacking operations.
Dual-Sided Transfer
The through-rod design allows mounting tooling on both ends to shuttle battery packs between conveyors without requiring a cylinder reversal.
Tab Welding Positioning
The built-in magnet enables reliable end-of-stroke confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors for accurate tab welding and handling stops.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X400S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of thrust in both directions over a 400 mm travel. If your battery stacking or handling process requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way. If you need substantially more thrust for heavy pack manipulation, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N. For tasks needing only one-sided actuation without dual tooling, a single-rod SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative.
With a 400 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases the risk of side-load bending; use an external guide rail or a proper guided cylinder to support heavy battery modules. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps and does not lock or hold the load; if battery positioning must be maintained without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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-SCD50X400S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this cylinder is part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line. Mechanically, the B06-SCD50X400S is completely identical to the standard SCD50X400S, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and physical specifications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (825 N at 0.5 MPa for this 50 mm bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The through-rod also offers better anti-rotation resistance, symmetric bearing wear, and a rear extension for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
