Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600
The B06-SCD50X600 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing environments. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X600. It features a 50 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke, utilizing a 20 mm diameter rod that passes through both end caps to provide equal thrust in both directions.
Because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers, the push and pull forces are identical, yielding 825 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The 600 mm stroke falls within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. It includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston at stroke ends, and the overall retracted body length A(SCD) is 207 mm, which is longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 600 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-SCD50X600 Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Moves battery cells between processing stations on a conveyor, using the dual rods to carry a transfer carriage with equal speed and force in both directions.
Module Stacking Pusher
Pushes battery modules into stacking fixtures, utilizing the non-rotating through-rod design to keep tooling perfectly aligned during the 600 mm travel.
Tab Welding Positioner
Positions battery tabs for laser welding, where the rear rod extension can mount a stroke-end sensor flag to confirm electrode placement without interfering with the primary tooling.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore cylinder when a battery assembly line requires 825 N of symmetrical force to shuttle cells or modules over a 600 mm distance. If your application needs less thrust, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is required, moving up to a 63 mm bore yields 1402 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional output and want to save space, while a fully guided cylinder is recommended if the load imposes heavy side loads on the extended rod.
At 600 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases, making the piston vulnerable to bending under offset loads. To manage this, use an external linear guide to support the load rather than relying solely on the cylinder bearings. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and ensure the magnet option (-S) is included if originally specified.
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-SCD50X600 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing applications. Mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD50X600 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to prevent impact damage. It does not lock or hold the load. If your battery handling process requires position holding without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
