The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X150 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, 150mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X150 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD100X150 double-rod cylinder, sharing the exact same physical specs. The B04- prefix simply designates it for heavy-equipment builders. As a double-acting, double-rod actuator, the piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical push and pull forces of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
With a 150 mm stroke and a 25 mm rod protruding from both ends, this model provides symmetric bearing loading and enhanced anti-rotation characteristics. It features adjustable cushions (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston near end caps and a body length A(SCD) of 263 mm. Note that cushions only slow the piston; they do not lock or hold a load if air pressure is lost.

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 symmetric push/pull mechanisms on construction machinery where equal force in both directions is required for shifting heavy components.
Carries tooling or stopper blocks on both rod ends to alternate actions between two stations without needing a second cylinder.
Uses the dual through-rod design to resist twisting during extension, ensuring precise alignment when pushing heavy structural parts.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your heavy equipment needs 3681 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2268 N each way. If you only need single-sided actuation without rear tooling, a standard single-rod SC cylinder is lighter and more compact. For applications with severe side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is superior, as the through rod provides better guidance than a single rod but is not a true linear guide.
To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and no magnet. If your construction machinery swings or pivots, select the TC centre trunnion mount (order with TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC100TC) instead of the basic body.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD100X150. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X150 double-rod cylinder, with the same 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, and PT1/2 port.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (3681 N at 0.5 MPa for this bore) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also allows mounting tooling on the rear rod and offers better resistance to rotation than a single-rod cylinder.
