Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400 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, 400mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400
The B06-SCD63X400 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X400. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a 63 mm bore and a 400 mm stroke, delivering an equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa (2523 N at 0.9 MPa). The through-rod design ensures symmetric bearing loading and provides a rear rod extension for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
Because the Ø20 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical in both directions. This specific build includes adjustable cushions with a 28 mm stroke length at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The retracted body length is based on the SCD body length A of 210 mm, making the overall assembly longer than a single-rod SC cylinder of equivalent dimensions.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 400 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, 28 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1500 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 (Ø63mm, double rod)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force for precise, non-rotating pressing and stacking of battery cells during module assembly.
Shuttle Transfer
Drives dual-sided shuttle mechanisms in pack assembly lines, using the rear rod for synchronous tooling attachment.
Tab Welding Press
Applies consistent 1402 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for battery tab welding, with adjustable cushions to protect delicate components.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 63 mm bore when your battery assembly line requires consistent bidirectional force around 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less thrust, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N each way, whereas moving up to an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. For tasks that only require force in one direction and do not benefit from a rear rod, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a more compact alternative. If the mechanism experiences significant side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod for guidance.
When replacing this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and non-magnet configuration. At 400 mm of stroke, the unsupported length of the rod increases; ensure external guides support the load to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The adjustable air cushions decelerate the piston near the end caps but do not lock or hold the load mechanically if air pressure is lost.
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-SCD63X400 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X400 double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and physical specifications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull force (1402 N at 0.5 MPa for this bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The through-rod offers better anti-rotation characteristics and a rear extension for mounting sensors or tooling, which is ideal for battery line shuttle applications.
