Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50S 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-SCD50X50S
The B06-SCD50X50S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X50S, meaning it shares the exact same physical specs while being tailored for cell, module, and pack assembly applications. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, it delivers an identical 825 N of thrust and pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (the S suffix), this 50 mm bore unit allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. It features a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends, a 21 mm adjustable cushion, and a body length A(SCD) of 207 mm. The symmetric through-rod design provides enhanced guidance and anti-rotation characteristics, ideal for stacking or tabbing operations requiring stable two-sided actuation.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD50X50S Is Used
Cell Stacking and Tabbing
The equal push and pull force ensures consistent pressure when stacking battery cells or aligning tabs, while the through rod prevents rotation during precise electrode handling.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Provides stable two-sided actuation for moving battery modules between assembly stations, utilizing the rear rod for mounting a stopper or sensor flag.
Pack Alignment Pushers
The 825 N output in both directions is ideal for squaring and aligning heavy battery packs within fixtures, ensuring components seat perfectly without shifting.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when your battery handling system requires 825 N of force in both directions within a compact 50 mm stroke. If your application needs less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 528 N each way, while moving up to a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. If you do not require rear-side tooling, equal thrust, or the anti-rotation benefit of a through rod, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder will save space and cost. For assemblies with heavy off-center loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the double-rod guidance.
To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and the -S magnet option. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not lock or hold the load. If your battery fixture must maintain position without live air pressure, you must integrate an external mechanical lock 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-SCD50X50S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD50X50S. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD50X50S double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 825 N equal push/pull force, 50 mm stroke, and built-in magnet, but is designated for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical thrust and pull forces because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The through-rod design also offers better bearing support, anti-rotation resistance, and a rear extension for mounting secondary tooling or sensors, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot provide.
