The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X250S 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-SCD63X250S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X250S double-rod cylinder, mechanically identical to the base model. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Because it is a double-acting double-rod design, the Ø20 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust in both directions at 1402 N (0.5 MPa) and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 250 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet (the S suffix) so CMSG or DMSG sensors can track position on the barrel. It uses adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length to decelerate the piston near stroke ends. Note that the air cushion only slows the piston; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost, so an external mechanical lock is required for vertical battery-stack holding.

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 push and pull force transfers battery cells between testing stations symmetrically, ensuring balanced bearing wear during continuous automated cycling.
The through-rod allows mounting a rear stopper or secondary actuator to push pallets from either direction on the module assembly line.
The built-in magnet enables CMSG sensors to detect intermediate positions for precise layer stacking in pack assembly.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your battery handling fixture needs symmetric 1402 N force both ways to shuttle cells without reversing tooling. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore drops the output to 825 N each way. If you need higher clamping thrust, an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. For simple one-way ejection where rear-rod tooling is unnecessary, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is more cost-effective.
When ordering a replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. Because the 250 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod, minimize side-loading on the battery handling tooling by using an external guide rail or a proper guided cylinder to prevent rod bending.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing lines. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X250S, offering the same 63 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, and 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The double-rod design provides identical 1402 N thrust in both directions and allows tooling to be mounted on the rear rod for two-sided actuation. It also offers better rod guidance and anti-rotation compared to a single-rod cylinder, which is critical for delicate battery tab alignment.
