Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X50S 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X50S
The B06-SCD63X50S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the base SCD63X50S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but earmarked for cell, module, and pack assembly applications. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa.
This 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet (the S suffix) enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track position along the barrel. It uses a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends, PT1/4 ports, and adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length. The retracted body length A(SCD) is 210 mm, which is physically longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder to accommodate the through-rod design.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X50S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X50S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 50 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-SCD63X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal 1402 N push/pull force ensures consistent pressure when stacking battery cells, while the dual rods prevent tooling rotation during the transfer cycle.
Module Shuttle Transfer
The through-rod design allows mounting a rear sensor flag to confirm retraction on battery module conveyor lines, providing symmetric bearing loading for longer life.
Tab Welding Clamp
The 50 mm short stroke delivers rapid actuation for tab welding clamps, and the built-in magnet allows solid-state sensors to verify clamp position before welding.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD63X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this double-rod configuration when a battery-handling mechanism requires equal thrust in both directions, a rear rod for mounting a stopper or sensor flag, or enhanced anti-rotation resistance. If your application only needs one-way actuation, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder of the same bore is lighter and shorter. If the mechanism experiences high side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is preferable, as the through rod provides better guidance than a single rod but is not a substitute for a true linear guide.
To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S). Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not lock or hold the load. If battery cell positioning must be maintained without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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-SCD63X50S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD63X50S. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X50S double-rod cylinder, with the same 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, and 1402 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa for this bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also offers a rear rod for mounting tooling or sensors and improves anti-rotation resistance compared to a single-rod design.
