The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X100 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. Ø63mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD63X100 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X100. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a 63 mm bore and 100 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 1402 N at 0.5 MPa (2523 N at 0.9 MPa). A Ø20 mm rod protrudes from both ends, providing symmetric bearing loading and superior anti-rotation characteristics compared to a single-rod design.
This through-rod architecture is highly valued in cell stacking and module handling tasks where a rear rod can mount a secondary tool or sensor flag. The cylinder incorporates adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. With a body length A(SCD) of 210 mm, the overall retracted length is naturally longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa and uses a standard PT1/4 port.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1402 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1962 N | 1962 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 286 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.

Provides equal 1402 N clamping and retraction force to align and press battery cell stacks without rotational drift.
Uses the front and rear rods simultaneously to push and pull battery modules between conveyor stations symmetrically.
The through-rod design maintains precise parallel clamping on battery tabs, with a rear rod flag triggering external position sensors.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your battery assembly line requires balanced 1402 N thrust in both directions and a 100 mm stroke. If your application needs less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N each way; if you need substantially more power, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. Select a single-rod SC cylinder if rear tooling or anti-rotation is unnecessary, or choose a fully guided cylinder if the mechanism experiences heavy side loads, as a through rod improves guidance but cannot replace a dedicated linear guide.
When ordering a replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and lack of a magnetic sensor (-S). Note that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not lock or hold the load. If your battery handling fixture must maintain position without live air pressure, you must incorporate an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD63X100. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD63X100 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa for this bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. The through-rod design also allows mounting tooling or sensors on the rear end and offers better resistance to rod rotation than a single-rod SC cylinder.
