Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X900
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X900 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, 900mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X900
The B06-SCD50X900 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X900; mechanically, the specs are identical. A Ø20 mm piston rod exits both end caps, yielding identical thrust in both directions at 825 N each way under 0.5 MPa and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
With a 900 mm stroke, this model suits long-reach transfer and handling tasks on cell or module assembly lines. It features adjustable cushions (21 mm) at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly. Note that the overall retracted length uses the SCD body length A of 207 mm, making the cylinder physically longer than a single-rod SC equivalent.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X900 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X900 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 900 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-SCD50X900 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides non-rotating, dual-sided actuation for precisely stacking battery cells, ensuring alignment via the through-rod design.
Module Transfer Shuttle
Drives long-travel shuttle mechanisms on battery module assembly lines, utilizing equal push and pull forces for consistent cycling.
Dual-Tool Handling
Mounts tooling on both rod ends to pick and place components simultaneously, cutting cycle time in high-throughput pack assembly.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X900 the Right Cylinder?
This 50 mm bore provides 825 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling mechanism requires less force, step down to a 40 mm bore (528 N each way); if you need to push heavier packs, step up to a 63 mm bore (1402 N each way). For tasks where only one side needs tooling and equal force is irrelevant, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact choice.
At 900 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length is substantial. To prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear under side loads, use an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder rather than relying solely on the through-rod for support. Replacements must match the 50 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, basic mounting, and magnet option exactly.
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-SCD50X900 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated line of the base SCD50X900 cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X900, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the 21 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. If your application must hold a load without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve.
