Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500S
The AirTAC B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500S 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-SCD63X500S
The B06-SCD63X500S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD63X500S double-rod cylinder, featuring a 63mm bore and 500mm stroke. The B06- prefix designates its optimization for cell, module, and pack assembly lines while retaining the exact physical specifications of the base model. Because it is a double-acting, double-rod design, the piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical push and pull forces of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa.
This symmetric thrust is ideal for battery handling tasks requiring non-rotating actuation or dual-tooling setups. The included built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track piston position along the 500mm travel. It uses a 20mm diameter rod on both ends, PT1/4 ports, and features adjustable cushions with a 28mm length to decelerate loads smoothly at stroke ends.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD63X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force for aligning and pressing battery cells during module stacking, ensuring consistent pressure without rotational drift.
Pack Shuttle Transfer
The through-rod design allows mounting a tooling stopper on the rear side, enabling precise bi-directional shuttle movements on battery pack assembly conveyors.
Tab Welding Feed
Drives electrode feeding mechanisms with a built-in magnet for exact position confirmation, ensuring accurate tab welding on high-speed production lines.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X500S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63mm bore when an application demands 1402 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking mechanism requires less force, stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 825 N each way, whereas a larger 80mm bore provides 2268 N. For single-sided pushing where rear rod protrusion is a hazard, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a better fit. If the payload must remain fixed without continuous air pressure, note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston and does not lock it; a mechanical lock or external brake is required for holding.
With a 500mm stroke, the unsupported rod length introduces a risk of bending under heavy side loads. Utilizing external guide rails or a dedicated guided cylinder will protect the seals and bearings. To replace this unit, match the 63mm bore, 500mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S).
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-SCD63X500S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X500S, offering the same 63mm bore, 500mm stroke, and double-rod configuration, but is designated for battery industry applications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (1402 N at 0.5 MPa for this bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The rear protruding rod also allows mounting secondary tooling or sensors, and offers better anti-rotation resistance than a single-rod design.
