Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X450S 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.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X450S
The B06-SCD50X450S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X450S. Mechanically, it shares identical specifications with the base model, featuring a 50 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is equal in both chambers, generating an identical 825 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The Ø20 mm rod protrudes from both ends, providing excellent anti-rotation characteristics and symmetric bearing loading.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (the S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. The unit utilizes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. Operating at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s, it uses a PT1/4 port and maintains a standard operating temperature range of -20 to +70 C with its default TPU seals.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X450S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 450 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-SCD50X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives a dual-sided stacking mechanism in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the equal push and pull force to compress and align cell layers consistently.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Mounts tooling on both rod ends to simultaneously push and pull battery modules between conveyor stations, cutting cycle time in half.
Tab Welding Positioning
Uses the through-rod design to carry a welding fixture on the front and a sensor flag on the rear, ensuring high-precision tab alignment with CMSG sensor feedback.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X450S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands exactly 825 N of equal bi-directional thrust 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 heavier pack manipulation might necessitate the 63 mm bore, which outputs 1402 N. For tasks needing only one-sided actuation, the single-rod AirTAC SC series is a lighter, more compact alternative. Furthermore, if the mechanism experiences severe side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder rather than a through-rod model is the correct choice to prevent premature bearing wear.
With a 450 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is substantial; always use an external guide rail to support the load and minimize rod bending. When ordering a replacement, match five critical points: the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, 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 cell 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-SCD50X450S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD50X450S, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, but is designated for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
The double-rod design provides identical 825 N thrust in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation stability, and allows tooling or a sensor flag to be mounted on the rear rod, which is ideal for synchronized battery handling.
