Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400 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, 400mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400
The B06-SCD80X400 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD80X400. The through-rod design yields equal thrust in both directions, providing 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. A Ø25 mm piston rod protrudes from both end caps, enabling dual-tooling setups for cell stacking or transfer shuttles.
This 400 mm stroke unit features adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length to decelerate heavy loads smoothly at stroke ends. With a body length A(SCD) of 257 mm, the overall retracted length is greater than a single-rod SC equivalent. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the standard TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø25 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 400 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| 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 (Ø80mm, double rod)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives symmetric stacking mechanisms for prismatic cells, using both rod ends to push and pull stacking plates with equal 2268 N force.
Module Transfer Shuttle
Moves battery modules between assembly stations, utilizing the anti-rotation characteristics of the double-rod design for stable transit.
Tab Welding Clamp
Actuates dual-side clamping fixtures for battery tab welding, ensuring parallel pressure via the through-rod geometry.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 80 mm bore when an application demands 2268 N of bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your battery assembly process requires less thrust, stepping down to a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N each way. If you only need actuation from one side and want a shorter footprint, the single-rod SC80X400 is preferable. For high side loads, a guided cylinder is recommended over relying on the through rod.
At 400 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under heavy lateral loads; use external guides to maintain alignment. To replace this unit, match the 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting, and no magnet. The SCD mounting subset supports Basic, FA, LB, and TC styles (no FB or CA/CB).
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-SCD80X400 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. Mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD80X400, offering the same 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and 2268 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No. The 28 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock or hold loads. If a battery module must be held vertically without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve.
