The AirTAC Airtac B04-SC Construction Machinery Special Standard Cylinder B04-SC100X250S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The B04-SC100X250S is an AirTAC double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for construction machinery. The B04- prefix designates this as a construction-equipment dedicated variant of the standard SC100X250S, retaining the exact same mechanical specifications, 100mm bore, and 250mm stroke.
Generating a substantial 5497 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this ISO 6430 class actuator handles heavy-duty tasks. It features a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking, a 25mm piston rod, and 29mm adjustable cushions to absorb end-of-stroke impact.

Drives robust auxiliary mechanisms on heavy earthmoving equipment where high force and durable tie-rod construction are required.
Powers diverter gates and positioning arms in concrete mixing and batching plants subjected to dusty environments.
Actuates heavy access panels and positioning gates on large construction vehicles and cranes.
This 100mm bore provides 5497 N at 0.7 MPa; stepping down to an 80mm bore reduces output to 3518 N, while a 125mm bore increases it to 8590 N for heavier loads. Ensure your replacement matches the 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and magnet option.
With a 250mm stroke, side-load bending on the 25mm rod is a factor. Use external guides or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear if the load is not perfectly axial.
Quick checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SC100X250S. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, offering the same 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, and 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
No, the SC series is double-acting and does not lock or hold position when air pressure is lost. The adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. A mechanical lock or external brake is required to hold vertical loads safely.
