Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500 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, 500mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500
The B06-SCD63X500 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X500 double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it for cell, module, and pack assembly lines, but mechanically it is identical to the base model. It features a 63 mm bore and a 500 mm stroke.
Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers. This yields an equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The Ø20 mm rod protrudes from both ends, featuring an M16x1.5 thread, while the body length A(SCD) is 210 mm.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 500 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-SCD63X500 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, using the dual rods to maintain parallel alignment and prevent rotation during the 500 mm extension.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Moves battery modules between welding and testing stations. The through-rod design allows tooling to be mounted on the rear side for synchronized secondary movements.
Tab Welding Press
Applies equal clamping force during busbar tab welding. The matching push and pull thrust ensures consistent contact pressure regardless of approach direction.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500 the Right Cylinder?
This 63 mm bore provides a balanced middle ground, delivering 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling fixture requires less force, stepping down to the 50 mm bore drops the output to 825 N. For heavier pack manipulation, the 80 mm bore increases the thrust to 2268 N.
At 500 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length is substantial. Avoid applying heavy side loads directly to the rod ends; use an external linear guide to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For drop-in replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, basic mounting, and ensure a magnet is added if position sensing is needed.
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-SCD63X500 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X500, featuring the same 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and physical specifications, but is designated for battery production line applications.
The double-rod design provides identical push and pull force (1402 N at 0.5 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also offers better resistance to rod rotation, symmetric bearing loading, and a rear protrusion for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
