Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X700
The B06-SCD50X700 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X700. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a 50 mm bore and a 700 mm stroke. Because the 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 and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
This symmetric thrust is invaluable for battery cell stacking and module handling, where consistent force is needed in both directions. The through-rod design uses a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends and incorporates adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly. The overall retracted body length relies on the SCD-specific dimension A of 207 mm, making it longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X700 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X700 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 700 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-SCD50X700 Is Used
Battery Cell Shuttle
Moves battery cells between welding and stacking stations using equal force both ways to maintain precise positioning during transfer.
Dual-Sided Tabbing Press
Actuates tooling from both ends simultaneously for battery tab welding, ensuring balanced pressure application without rotation.
Module Diverting Stopper
Uses the rear protruding rod to mount a secondary stopper flag or sensor target, coordinating diverter timing on the pack assembly line.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X700 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when your battery assembly line needs exactly 825 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. If your module handling requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N; if you need to move heavier battery packs, stepping up to a 63 mm bore yields 1402 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need one-sided actuation and want a shorter overall footprint, while a true guided cylinder is better for absorbing heavy lateral loads.
At 700 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases, making the piston vulnerable to bending if side loads are present. Use external guide rails or a guided cylinder to support the load. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic sensor (-S) is required.
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-SCD50X700 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD50X700. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD50X700 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake or locking mechanism. If a battery module must be held in position without live air pressure, you must use an external rod brake, mechanical lock, or pilot-operated check valve.
