The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X125S 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-SCD100X125S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X125S double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the base model, featuring a 100 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. Because it is a double-acting double-rod cylinder, the piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust in both directions. You get 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, and 6626 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This through-rod design provides excellent anti-rotation characteristics and symmetric bearing loading, which is critical in harsh equipment environments. The Ø25 mm rod protrudes from both ends, allowing tooling or stopper plates to mount on either side. The barrel houses a built-in magnet (indicated by the S suffix), enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the body for position signaling. Adjustable cushions at both ends provide 29 mm of deceleration to protect the end caps from impact.

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.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Drives robust two-sided push-pull mechanisms on earthmoving and lifting machinery where equal force in both travel directions is mandatory.
Moves heavy structural components or pallets between stations using dual tooling mounted on both rod ends for balanced load distribution.
Holds and positions large fabrication parts without rotational drift, leveraging the through-rod guidance for high-precision pressing tasks.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your machine requires substantial equal bidirectional force, such as 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism only needs actuation in one direction, the single-rod AirTAC SC100X125 is lighter and more compact. If the application involves heavy side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder rather than a through-rod unit will prevent premature seal wear.
For direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet. The 125 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard configuration. Even at shorter strokes, always support long or heavy tooling with external guides to avoid bending the Ø25 mm rod.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix marks this as AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated line. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X125S, offering the same 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, and 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull force because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better anti-rotation stability and allows you to mount tooling or a sensor flag on the rear rod extension.
