Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600S 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-SCD50X600S
The B06-SCD50X600S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X600S; mechanically, every spec matches the base model exactly. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull thrust of 825 N at 0.5 MPa.
Featuring a 600 mm stroke and a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, this unit suits long-travel transfer and stacking tasks on battery module lines. The Ø20 mm rod protruding from both ends provides symmetric bearing loading and better anti-rotation characteristics than a single-rod actuator, while the adjustable cushion extends 21 mm to decelerate the payload smoothly at stroke ends.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD50X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives symmetric stacking mechanisms for prismatic battery cells, using the dual-rod design to prevent twisting during long 600 mm travel extensions.
Module Transfer Shuttle
Moves battery modules between assembly stations, leveraging the equal push/pull force to maintain consistent timing in both directions.
Rear-Stroke Sensing
Utilizes the built-in magnet and rear rod protrusion to mount CMSG sensors for precise end-of-stroke confirmation in compact tabbing equipment.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X600S the Right Cylinder?
This 50 mm bore provides 825 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa (1484 N at 0.9 MPa). If your battery handling system needs less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 528 N; if you need to push heavier packs, an 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. For applications where live air pressure might be lost and the load must stay suspended, note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston and does not lock it, so an external mechanical rod brake or pilot-operated check valve is required for position holding.
With a 600 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is substantial, making side-load and rod bending a real concern. Use an external guide rail to support the load rather than relying solely on the cylinder bearings. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need one-sided actuation and want to reduce overall length.
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-SCD50X600S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD50X600S. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force, PT1/4 port, and built-in magnet, but is designated for battery cell and pack assembly lines.
The double-rod design provides equal force (825 N at 0.5 MPa) and speed in both directions, plus better rod guidance and anti-rotation. The through-rod allows mounting tooling or sensors on the rear side, which is ideal for battery line shuttling, whereas a single-rod SC cylinder only actuates from one end.
