The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X200S 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, 200mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X200S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated double-rod cylinder, mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X200S. The B04- prefix simply designates its fulfillment within the heavy-equipment builder channel without altering any physical specs. A 100mm bore and 200mm stroke yield a massive 3681 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
Because the Ø25mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical on both sides. This guarantees equal push and pull forces along with superior rod guidance. The included S suffix means a built-in magnet is fitted, allowing CMSG or DMSG sensors to track position. Adjustable cushions at both ends provide 29mm of deceleration to protect heavy tooling 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 symmetric push-pull linkages in heavy equipment cabins where equal force both ways prevents linkage binding under high pressure.
Moves heavy construction components between stations with tooling mounted on both rod ends for simultaneous dual-side actuation.
Handles large molded parts or machinery panels where the dual-rod design resists torsional twist better than a single rod.
Select this 100mm bore when an application demands high bidirectional force (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) and anti-rotation stability. If your mechanism only requires force in one direction, a single-rod SC100X200 is lighter and shorter. For heavy side loads, remember that a through rod improves guidance but cannot replace a true guided cylinder.
When replacing this unit, match the 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and the -S magnet option. At 200mm stroke, side loading is moderate; ensure external guides support the load if the rod is subjected to bending moments. This construction-machinery variant uses the exact same TPU seals (-20 to +70 C) and basic mounting as the base model.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard AirTAC SCD100X200S. It is mechanically identical to the base model, offering the same 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, and 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The double-rod design provides identical push and pull forces (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted on both sides. It also offers better anti-rotation stability and allows tooling or a sensor flag to be mounted on the rear rod, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot do.
