Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400S 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-SCD63X400S
The B06-SCD63X400S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-industry dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X400S. It delivers an equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 20 mm diameter piston rod that protrudes from both end caps.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), this unit allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track piston position along the 400 mm stroke. The adjustable cushion spans 28 mm at each end to decelerate the payload smoothly. Note that the double-rod architecture yields a longer overall body length A(SCD) of 210 mm compared to a single-rod SC cylinder of equivalent size.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD63X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force ensures precise, symmetric pressure when stacking prismatic battery cells, preventing cell damage during compression.
Dual-Sided Shuttle Transfer
The through-rod design allows tooling mounts on both ends, enabling a battery module to be pushed and retracted on a transfer line without rotating fixtures.
Tab Welding Positioner
The built-in magnet provides reliable end-of-stroke signaling for robotic battery tab welding, ensuring the electrode is fully extended before firing.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X400S the Right Cylinder?
This 63 mm bore provides 1402 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling mechanism needs less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N. If you need more clamping power for heavy pack assembly, an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional actuation and want to save space, while a fully guided cylinder is recommended if the mechanism experiences severe side loads.
At 400 mm of travel, the unsupported rod length increases susceptibility to bending under offset loads; use an external guide rail to maintain alignment. For a direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and the -S magnet option. Remember that the adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end—they do not lock or hold the load. If the battery cell must remain clamped during a pressure loss, install an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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-SCD63X400S FAQ
The B06- prefix designates this as an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X400S double-rod cylinder, offering the same 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and 400 mm stroke, but is specified for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force (1402 N at 0.5 MPa) and speed in both directions, and allows tooling to be mounted on the rear rod. This symmetric loading improves bearing wear characteristics and enables two-sided actuation, which is often required for battery shuttle and stacking mechanisms.
