Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500S 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.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500S
The B06-SCD80X500S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the SCD80X500S, retaining exact mechanical equivalence to the standard model. Because the Ø25 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal thrust of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa (3175 N at 0.7 MPa) for advance and retract.
This 500 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet (the S suffix) enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track position along the 257 mm body length A(SCD). The symmetric through-rod design provides enhanced guidance and anti-rotation characteristics compared to single-rod alternatives, making it highly effective for stacking and tabbing operations where dual tooling or a rear stopper is required.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø25 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 500 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-SCD80X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal advance and retract force to press and align prismatic cells during stacking, using the dual rod ends to maintain parallelism.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Drives a dual-ended shuttle mechanism in pack assembly lines, utilizing the through-rod to mount symmetrical tooling on both sides.
Tab Welding Positioning
Uses the built-in magnet with barrel sensors to confirm exact 500 mm stroke extension for precise tab welding electrode placement.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD80X500S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 80 mm bore when an application demands 2268 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your battery-handling mechanism requires less thrust, stepping down to the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N each way; if higher clamping power is needed, the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N. For tasks needing only one-sided actuation, the standard single-rod SC series is lighter and more compact.
When replacing this unit, match the 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. Because the 500 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod, avoid excessive side loads. For heavy off-center battery modules, use an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
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-SCD80X500S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD80X500S, offering the same 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and 2268 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce impact. It does not lock or hold the load. If battery modules must be held without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
