The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X225 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, 225mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD63X225 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X225. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a 63mm bore and a 225mm stroke, providing 1402 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa. Because the Ø20mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical on both sides, yielding perfectly symmetrical push and pull forces.
This symmetric design is ideal for battery cell stacking and tabbing operations that require non-rotating dual-tooling. The unit includes adjustable cushions (28mm length) to decelerate the piston at stroke ends, and its retracted body length is based on the SCD A-dimension of 210mm. Operating temperature ranges from -20 to +70 C with the standard TPU seals.

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.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Equal push and pull force ensures precise, symmetric pressure when stacking prismatic battery cells, preventing misalignment during compression.
The through-rod design allows mounting tooling on both ends to act as a bidirectional shuttle for moving battery modules between assembly stations.
Rear rod protrusion provides a stable second mounting point for a sensor flag, monitoring the 225mm stroke during battery tab welding operations.
Choose this 63mm bore when your battery handling line needs exactly 1402 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your module assembly requires less thrust, consider stepping down to the 50mm bore (825 N at 0.5 MPa). If you are moving heavy battery packs and need more power, the 80mm bore offers 2268 N. For applications with significant side loads on the 225mm stroke, a standard SCD through-rod provides better guidance than a single rod, but a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended for extreme bending moments.
To replace this unit, match the 63mm bore, 225mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If a battery tray must remain suspended without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is mandatory.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X225, offering the same 63mm bore, 225mm stroke, and 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, with no changes to physical specs or materials.
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 chambers. It also offers better anti-rotation characteristics and allows tooling or sensors to be mounted on the rear rod, which is ideal for battery line automation.
