Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400S 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-SCD80X400S
The B06-SCD80X400S 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 SCD80X400S. The through-rod design yields identical thrust in both directions, generating 2268 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. Because the Ø25 mm rod exits both end caps, the effective pressure area is balanced.
This 400 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnetic ring for barrel-mounted CMSG or DMSG position sensing. It uses adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length to decelerate the piston near the end caps. Note that an air cushion only slows travel; it does not lock the piston. If a battery-handling jig must hold position without live air pressure, an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve is mandatory.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD80X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives a dual-sided stacking plate to press and align battery cells with equal 2268 N force on the advance and retract strokes.
Module Transfer Shuttle
Uses the extended rear rod to carry a secondary tooling head, shuttling battery modules between welding stations symmetrically.
Tab Welding Positioning
Relies on the built-in magnet and CMSG sensors to confirm exact 400 mm stroke positioning for battery tab welding jigs.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X400S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 80 mm bore when a battery-stacking or cell-transfer station requires 2268 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions. If your assembly process needs less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. If you need to move heavier battery packs and require 3681 N, move up to a 100 mm bore. For applications lacking side load, a single-rod SC cylinder is lighter and shorter, while true guided cylinders are better for high lateral loads.
At 400 mm of stroke, the unsupported Ø25 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral deflection. Use an external linear guide to support the load. When replacing this unit, match the 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. The SCD mounting subset includes LB, FA, and TC styles but omits FB, CA, and 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-SCD80X400S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. Mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD80X400S, featuring the same 80 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and 2268 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The double-rod design provides equal force and speed in both directions, plus better rod guidance and anti-rotation. The rear protruding rod is useful for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags on battery assembly lines, which a single-rod SC cannot offer.
