The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X125 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. Ø100mm bore, 125mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X125 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD100X125 double-rod cylinder, sharing the exact same physical specs. The B04- prefix simply flags it for heavy-equipment builders. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, it delivers identical thrust in both directions, outputting 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and reaching 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 100 mm bore unit features a 25 mm diameter rod protruding from both ends, adjustable 29 mm cushions, and PT1/2 ports. Its 125 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The double-rod design provides superior anti-rotation characteristics and allows tooling to be mounted on the rear side for two-sided actuation.

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 | 3682 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 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.

Drives heavy counter-balanced mechanisms on earthmoving equipment where equal force is needed to push and retract attachments.
Moves parts between two stations using dual tooling mounted on both rod ends for continuous back-and-forth cycling.
Pushes heavy structural components on an assembly line, relying on the through-rod design to resist twist.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your heavy equipment requires substantial bidirectional force (3681 N at 0.5 MPa). If your mechanism only needs one-way thrust, the single-rod AirTAC SC100X125 is lighter and shorter. If side loads are high, a dedicated guided cylinder is superior, as the through rod improves guidance but cannot replace linear rails.
To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and no magnet. For swinging pivot loads on excavators or loaders, order the F-SC100TC centre trunnion bracket. Note that air pressure loss will cause the load to drift; a mechanical lock is required to hold position safely.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated line. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X125 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 3681 N equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation resistance, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors.
