The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500 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, 500mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD80X500 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the leading B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD80X500, mechanically identical to the base model. 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 force of 3175 N at 0.7 MPa (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). This symmetric thrust is ideal for cell stacking and module transfer operations.
With a 500 mm stroke, this unit provides extended travel while maintaining a robust profile. The adjustable cushion strokes are 28 mm at each end to decelerate the payload smoothly. The overall retracted length uses the SCD80 body length A of 257 mm, making the cylinder longer than a single-rod SC equivalent to accommodate the through-rod design.

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.

Provides equal 3175 N push and pull force at 0.7 MPa to press and align battery cells during automated stacking processes without rotational drift.
The through-rod design supports tooling on both ends, enabling a 500 mm bidirectional shuttle movement for transferring battery modules between assembly stations.
Delivers consistent clamping pressure from both directions for battery tab welding, utilizing the 28 mm adjustable cushions to prevent end-of-stroke impact on sensitive components.
Choose this 80 mm bore when your battery assembly line needs substantial bidirectional thrust—stepping down to a 63 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa force to 1402 N, while stepping up to a 100 mm bore increases it to 3681 N. If the application only requires thrust in one direction and a rear rod is unnecessary, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder saves space and weight. For high side-load deflection on the 500 mm stroke, a dedicated guided cylinder rather than a through-rod provides superior load support.
To replace this unit, match five points: 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (or an SCD-compatible accessory like F-SC80LB or F-SC80TC), and no built-in magnet. Note that an SCD cylinder drifts when air pressure is removed; a mechanical lock or external brake is required to hold a load safely without live pressure.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD80X500, offering the same 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and 3175 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa, but is designated for battery cell and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. The through-rod also allows mounting tooling or sensors at the rear, offers better anti-rotation characteristics, and symmetrically loads the bearings, which is critical for long-stroke battery handling tasks.
