The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X250 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, 250mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD80X250 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing environments. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SCD80X250, meaning it shares the exact same physical specifications. Because the Ø25 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull thrust of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa (3175 N at 0.7 MPa).
With a 250 mm stroke, this model provides a balanced 250 mm travel distance for transferring battery cells or modules. The through-rod design improves bearing load distribution and offers anti-rotation benefits compared to a single-rod actuator. It features a PT3/8 port, adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length on both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly, and a body length A(SCD) of 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.
Equal push and pull force makes this cylinder ideal for moving battery cells between processing stations on a transfer table.
The through-rod allows tooling to be mounted on both ends, enabling simultaneous clamping or positioning for battery tab welding.
The rear protruding rod can act as a physical stopper or carry a sensor flag to confirm pallet positioning on the line.
Choose this 80 mm bore when an application demands substantial equal-force bi-directional motion, such as shuttling heavy battery packs. If your assembly line requires less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. If you only need force in one direction and do not have rear tooling, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is lighter and more compact. For loads that impose high lateral stress on the 250 mm stroke, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod for support.
To replace this unit, match the 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting style, and non-magnet configuration. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not lock or hold the load. If a battery module must remain suspended without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve must be installed.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing applications. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD80X250 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, and 2268 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force and speed in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation characteristics, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot provide.
