About the Airtac B04-SC Construction Machinery Special Standard Cylinder B04-SC63X160
The B04-SC63X160 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SC63X160 tie-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the base model. This double-acting pneumatic cylinder provides 1559N of push force at 0.5MPa and up to 2805N at 0.9MPa, making it well-suited for robust actuation tasks.
It features a 20mm piston rod, PT1/4 porting, and 28mm adjustable cushions to absorb end-of-stroke impact. With a body length A of 153mm, the total extended length is 313mm. The standard TPU seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70C.

Where the Airtac B04-SC Construction Machinery Special Standard Cylinder B04-SC63X160 Is Used
Heavy Equipment Doors
Actuates heavy access panels and cab doors on excavators and loaders where a 1559N push force at 0.5MPa is sufficient.
Material Clamping
Provides reliable clamping pressure for holding steel components or framing in place during machinery assembly or welding processes.
Valve Actuation
Drives diverter valves and flow control mechanisms in concrete mixers or aggregate processing equipment.
Is the Airtac B04-SC Construction Machinery Special Standard Cylinder B04-SC63X160 the Right Cylinder?
This 63mm bore offers a solid middle ground between the 50mm bore (982N push at 0.5MPa) and the larger 80mm bore (2513N push at 0.5MPa). Choose this model when your construction machinery requires moderate force and a 160mm stroke. For exact replacements, match the 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, PT thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration.
At 160mm of stroke, side loads can stress the rod bearing. If the application involves heavy off-center loads typical in construction equipment, use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B04-SC Construction Machinery Special Standard Cylinder B04-SC63X160 FAQ
The B04- prefix indicates that this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated line. It is mechanically identical to the standard SC63X160 cylinder, offering the same 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, and 2805N maximum thrust at 0.9MPa.
No, the SC series is double-acting and does not lock or hold position without live air pressure. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke ends. If your construction application must hold a load, you need an external mechanical lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
