The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X700 is an AirTAC construction-machinery dedicated double-rod cylinder, mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X700. The B04- prefix simply flags it for heavy-equipment builders, meaning every physical spec matches the base SCD line. With a 100mm bore and 700mm stroke, it yields 3681 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly symmetric push and pull cycles.
A Ø25mm piston rod passes through both end caps, providing dual-side tooling mounting and enhanced anti-rotation stability. The adjustable cushion spans 29mm to softly decelerate the piston at stroke ends. Operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s, driven by PT1/2 ports.

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.

Equal push and pull force precisely aligns and shifts heavy steel panels on construction machinery without stroke imbalance.
The through-rod allows mounting tooling on both ends to alternate between two workstations in heavy-equipment assembly.
The twin-rod design resists torsional twisting better than a single rod, keeping heavy construction components oriented correctly.
This 100mm bore provides 3681 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Step down to an 80mm bore for 2268 N if the load is lighter, or up to 125mm for 5734 N on heavier construction frames. If you only need one-way actuation, a single-rod SC cylinder saves space, while extreme side loads require a true guided cylinder rather than relying on the through-rod.
With a 700mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is substantial; always use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending under heavy loads. For exact replacements, match the 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, PT1/2 port, basic mounting, and no magnet. The cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod brake for any load-holding requirements.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is a construction-machinery dedicated variant. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X700, offering the same 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and PT1/2 ports, simply designated for heavy-equipment manufacturing.
The double-rod design provides identical 3681 N force in both directions and allows tooling or a stopper to be mounted on the rear rod. It also offers better anti-rotation resistance than a single-rod cylinder, which is critical for heavy construction-machine actuation.
