The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X100S is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø25mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø80mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD80X100S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD80X100S double-rod cylinder, featuring identical mechanical specifications. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Because this is a double-acting, double-rod design, the Ø25 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust and retraction forces of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa (3175 N at 0.7 MPa) in both directions.
This symmetric force output is critical for battery stacking and tabbing operations where consistent pressure is required on both strokes. The built-in magnet (denoted by the S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. The unit includes adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly, and its retracted body length A(SCD) is 257 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N | 3175 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 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.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Provides equal 2268 N clamping and retraction forces at 0.5 MPa to press battery cells uniformly without deflecting the stack.
The through-rod design allows tooling to mount on both ends, enabling a compact shuttle mechanism to move battery modules between stations symmetrically.
The built-in magnet supports precise CMSG/DMSG sensor placement for verifying exact rod extension before automated battery tab welding occurs.
Select this 80 mm bore when your battery handling fixture requires substantial equal bidirectional force (2268 N at 0.5 MPa) within a compact 100 mm stroke. If your application involves extreme side loads from heavy battery modules, stepping up to a larger bore or utilizing a dedicated guided cylinder will prevent rod bending. Conversely, if the load is lighter, dropping to a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and saves space. Choose a single-rod SC cylinder if rear-side tooling or symmetric bearing loading is not required.
To replace this unit, match the 80 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting style, and the -S magnetic piston option. Note that while the through-rod offers better anti-rotation support than a single rod, it does not function as a locking device; if the battery assembly must hold position without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is mandatory.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD80X100S, featuring the same 80 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and 2268 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa. The prefix simply designates its intended industry application.
The double-rod configuration ensures push and pull forces are identical (2268 N at 0.5 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also provides a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags, improves anti-rotation stability, and balances bearing wear better than a single-rod SC cylinder.
