The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X250 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, 250mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD63X250 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X250. The through-rod design yields equal push and pull thrust of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, making it highly effective for synchronized two-sided actuation in cell stacking and module handling.
Featuring a 63 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, this unit utilizes a 20 mm diameter rod exiting both end caps and PT1/4 ports. It incorporates adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length to manage end-of-stroke deceleration. The retracted body length is based on an A(SCD) dimension of 210 mm, which is physically longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder.

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.

Equal bidirectional force ensures precise, symmetric pressure when pressing and indexing battery cells during automated stacking processes.
The double-rod configuration allows tooling to be mounted on both ends, enabling a compact transfer shuttle that pushes and pulls modules without retooling.
Through-rod guidance provides better resistance to twist compared to single-rod units, stabilizing the electrode head during battery tab welding.
This 63 mm bore provides a balanced 1402 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your battery assembly fixture requires less thrust, stepping down to the 50 mm bore drops the output to 825 N each way, while moving up to the 80 mm bore increases it to 2268 N. Choose a single-rod SC cylinder if you only need one-sided actuation, or select a guided cylinder if the application involves heavy side loads that exceed what a through-rod can support.
When operating at a 250 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases, making the cylinder more susceptible to bending under offset loads; utilize external guide rails to maintain alignment. For exact replacements, match the 63 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) for position sensing is required.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD63X250. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, offering the same 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, but is specifically designated for battery production lines.
No, the 28 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of stroke to reduce impact. If the battery fixture must hold a vertical load when air pressure is lost, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
