The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X225 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, 225mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X225 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X225 double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it matches the base SCD specs exactly. It provides 3681 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to 6626 N at its 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
Because the Ø25 piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical in both chambers. This through-rod design gives you a rear extension for mounting a stopper, secondary tooling, or a sensor flag, while symmetrically loading the bearings. The cylinder features a 29 mm adjustable cushion on both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke limits.

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 pushing and pulling mechanisms on construction machinery where the B04- prefix indicates dedicated heavy-equipment suitability.
Moves parts back and forth on an assembly line with equal force and speed in both directions, utilizing the dual-end rod for mounting stops.
Handles workpieces requiring higher thrust (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) where the extended rear rod provides better guidance than a single-rod actuator.
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need substantially more thrust than a 63 mm bore (1402 N at 0.5 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of a 125 mm body (5734 N). If your mechanism only requires force in one direction and rear tooling is unnecessary, a single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative. For loads demanding precise anti-rotation under heavy side force, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod.
At 225 mm of travel, the unsupported rod length requires careful attention to side-load bending. Use external guides to support the load. To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting style, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) is needed. Note that air pressure does not hold the load when the valve is centered; a mechanical lock is required for dead-load holding.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated line. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X225 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and PT1/2 porting.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers a rear rod extension for mounting tooling or sensors, better anti-rotation resistance, and symmetric bearing loading compared to a single-rod SC cylinder.
