The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X450S 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD63X450S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod cylinder, mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X450S. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Featuring a 63mm bore and 450mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder uses a through-rod that passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust in both directions at 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa.
Because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers, push and pull forces remain balanced, which is critical for synchronous transfer and stacking tasks. The cylinder features a 20mm diameter rod on both ends, adjustable cushions with a 28mm length, and a body length A(SCD) of 210mm. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track piston position directly on the barrel.

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.

Provides equal push and pull force for aligning and pressing battery cells during module stacking, ensuring consistent pressure on both advance and retract strokes.
The through-rod design allows mounting of tooling on both ends to act as a bidirectional shuttle for moving battery trays between assembly stations.
Rear rod end can carry a sensor flag to trigger a welding head, while the front rod applies non-rotating clamping force on battery tabs.
This 63mm bore provides 1402 N of force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid middle ground. If your battery stacking mechanism requires less force, stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 825 N each way. If you need heavier pressing power for pack formation, an 80mm bore offers 2268 N. For applications needing only one-sided actuation without rear tooling, the single-rod AirTAC SC63 series is a lighter, more compact alternative.
At 450mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases. Even though a through-rod offers better guidance and anti-rotation than a single rod, it is not a substitute for a true guided cylinder under heavy side loads. Use external linear guides to prevent rod bending. To replace this unit, match the 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, PT1/4 port, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. Note that air pressure loss will cause the piston to drift; a mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required if the load must hold position without live pressure.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. Mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD63X450S double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, and 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces because the 20mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better anti-rotation characteristics, symmetric bearing loading, and a rear rod extension for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot provide.
