Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X500S 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, 500mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X500S
The B06-SCD50X500S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X500S. Mechanically, it shares the exact same physical specs, offering 825 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The through-rod design provides identical push and pull forces, making it ideal for symmetrical shuttle and transfer operations.
Featuring a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends and a PT1/4 port, this unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking along its 500 mm stroke. The adjustable cushion extends 21 mm to decelerate the piston near the end caps. Note that the overall retracted length is longer than a single-rod SC cylinder due to the rod protruding from both ends.

|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 500 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-SCD50X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives a dual-sided pusher to align and stack battery cells precisely, using the equal push/pull force to maintain consistent pressure during the stacking process.
Module Transfer Shuttle
Moves battery modules between assembly stations. The through rod allows tooling to be mounted on both ends, enabling a compact shuttle transfer without reversing the actuator.
Tab Welding Positioning
Positions battery tabs for laser welding. The built-in magnet allows CMSG sensors to confirm the exact 500 mm stroke extension before the welding head descends.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X500S the Right Cylinder?
This 50 mm bore provides 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling mechanism requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 528 N, while a 63 mm bore increases output to 1402 N. Choose a single-rod SC cylinder if your application only needs one-sided actuation and you want a shorter body. For true non-rotating precision under heavy offset loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through rod.
With a 500 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases the risk of bending under side loads; use an external guide rail to support the tooling. Replacement requires matching the 50 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock the load—if the assembly must hold position without live air pressure, you must add an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve.
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-SCD50X500S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X500S, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 500 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 force in both directions because the 20 mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It offers better rod guidance and allows you to mount tooling or a sensor flag on the rear rod, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot do.
