The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X300 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X300 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X300 double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the base model. It features a 100mm bore and 300mm stroke, using a 25mm diameter piston rod that passes through both end caps.
Because the rod protrudes from both ends, the effective pressure area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a robust 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The body length A(SCD) is 263mm, and adjustable cushions at both ends provide 29mm of deceleration to protect your tooling from impact at stroke extremes.

| Stroke | 300 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/2 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| 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.

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 mechanisms on construction machinery where the B04 designation ensures suitability for heavy-equipment builder specifications.
Moves parts or tooling symmetrically from both ends, utilizing the equal 3681 N push and pull force to ensure balanced momentum.
Uses the extended rear rod to mount an external target or physical stop, keeping the primary working end clear of obstructions.
This 100mm bore provides heavy thrust suitable for moving substantial loads on excavators or loaders. If you need less force, stepping down to an 80mm bore drops the output to 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require more power, a 125mm bore raises it to 5734 N. Choose a single-rod SC cylinder if your mechanism only actuates from one side and you want to save space. For applications with high lateral stress on the 300mm stroke, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod for support.
When ordering a replacement, verify five points: the 100mm bore, 300mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the required SCD mounting accessory (Basic, FA, LB, or TC), and whether a magnetic piston (-S) is needed for position sensing. Note that the 300mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod; always use an external guide to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X300, offering the same 100mm bore, 300mm stroke, and 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No. The 29mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends to reduce impact. If your application must hold a load without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
