Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50
The B06-SCD50X50 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X50. Because the Ø20 mm 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 (1484 N at 0.9 MPa). This symmetric thrust is essential for consistent tabbing and stacking motions on cell assembly lines.
With a compact 50 mm stroke and a body length A(SCD) of 207 mm, this model provides excellent rod guidance and anti-rotation properties compared to a single-rod unit. It features adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the payload smoothly at stroke ends. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost, so an external mechanical lock is required for vertical battery stack positioning without live pressure.

|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 50 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-SCD50X50 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Provides equal 825 N bidirectional clamping force for stacking electrode sheets, ensuring consistent pressure during cell assembly.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Drives a dual-ended shuttle table where the rear rod carries a mechanical stopper, maintaining symmetric bearing loading on the battery line.
Non-Rotating Tab Welder
The through-rod design resists torsional twist, delivering stable downward pressure for battery tab welding without needing an external guide.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when your battery handling fixture requires 825 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. If your module transfer station needs less force, step down to a 40 mm bore (528 N each way); if you are lifting heavier battery packs, step up to a 63 mm bore (1402 N each way). A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need one-sided actuation and want to save mounting space.
For replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration exactly. Because this is a double-rod design, the rear rod protrusion can be used to mount a sensor flag or secondary stopper, though a fully guided cylinder is still recommended for high side-load scenarios.
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-SCD50X50 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X50 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, but is designated for battery cell, module, and pack assembly applications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull force (825 N at 0.5 MPa for this 50 mm bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. The protruding rear rod also allows you to mount secondary tooling or a sensor flag, and the dual-rod guidance offers better anti-rotation performance than a single-rod unit.
