The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X450 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD50X450 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X450 double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its use in cell, module, and pack assembly lines, but mechanically it is identical to the base model. It features a 50 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke, driven by a Ø20 mm piston rod that passes through both end caps.
Because the rod area is subtracted on both sides, thrust is perfectly symmetrical at 825 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The body length A(SCD) is 207 mm, and adjustable cushions provide 21 mm of deceleration at each stroke end to protect your tooling.

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.

Equal push and pull force makes this cylinder ideal for moving battery cells between processing stations on a symmetrical shuttle table.
The through-rod allows mounting welding electrodes or clamps on both ends, applying balanced 825 N pressure for cell tabbing operations.
A double-rod design provides better anti-rotation characteristics than a single rod, ensuring precise alignment when pushing battery modules into test fixtures.
This 50 mm bore offers a balanced footprint for battery stacking and tabbing fixtures. If your assembly process requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. For heavier pack manipulation, a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. If you only need tooling on one side and want a shorter overall body, a single-rod SC cylinder is a better fit.
At 450 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases susceptibility to bending under side loads. Use an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to keep the load perfectly aligned. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) is needed for CMSG/DMSG sensors.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing lines. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X450, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and 450 mm stroke, with no changes to dimensions or seals.
No. The 21 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. They do not lock or hold the load. If a battery module must be held vertically or without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve.
