The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X175S 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X175S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B04- prefix designates it as a construction-machinery dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X175S. The through-rod design yields perfectly symmetric thrust, generating 3681 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
Because the Ø25 mm piston rod exits both end caps, this configuration provides enhanced anti-rotation characteristics and allows tooling to be mounted on the rear side. It features adjustable cushions with a 29 mm length to soften end-of-stroke impacts, and the built-in S suffix magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track piston position along the 263 mm body length A(SCD).

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 29 mm |

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 robust mechanisms on construction machinery where the B04 designation ensures suitability for heavy-equipment builder specifications.
Simultaneously pushes and pulls tooling from both ends, leveraging the 3681 N equal force to move heavy fixtures between workstations.
The dual-rod guidance resists twist during high-thrust pushing tasks, maintaining alignment for precision heavy-duty pressing.
Select this 100 mm bore when an application demands substantial equal bidirectional force (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) that a smaller 80 mm bore (2268 N) cannot provide. If your mechanism only requires thrust in one direction, the single-rod AirTAC SC100X175 is a lighter, more compact alternative. For loads imposing severe lateral stress, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod for support.
When ordering a replacement, verify five points: 100 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (or an SCD-compatible accessory like F-SC100LB), and the -S magnetic sensor option. Note that the SCD series uses a tie-rod body and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X175S, offering the same 100 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, and 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the 29 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce impact. It does not lock or hold the load. If the mechanism must maintain position without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
