The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X75S 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, 75mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X75S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD100X75S double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the standard model. A Ø25 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding an identical push and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a robust 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 75 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking and uses PT1/2 ports. The through-rod design provides excellent anti-rotation characteristics and allows tooling to be mounted on both ends. Adjustable cushions at each end provide 29 mm of deceleration to protect your machinery at stroke endpoints.

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 synchronized push-pull mechanisms on heavy equipment where the B04- designation ensures suitability for rugged construction environments.
Simultaneously actuates clamps or fixtures from both ends of the cylinder, leveraging the equal 3681 N force at 0.5 MPa in both directions.
Handles heavy part ejection on machinery where the twin Ø25 mm rods prevent twist during the 75 mm extension and retraction cycle.
Select this 100 mm bore when your application requires substantial equal bidirectional thrust, stepping up from a 63 mm bore (1402 N at 0.5 MPa) or down from a 125 mm bore (5734 N at 0.5 MPa). If your mechanism only requires force in one direction, a single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder will save space and weight. For heavy side loads, remember that while a through rod offers better guidance than a single rod, a dedicated guided cylinder is still the correct choice.
To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. Note that this cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost; an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load safely without live pressure.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD100X75S. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD100X75S double-rod cylinder, offering the same 100 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, and force ratings.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. On this 100 mm bore model, you get 3681 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, plus better anti-rotation stability and the ability to mount tooling on the rear rod.
