The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD100X800 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, 800mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD100X800 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B04- prefix designates it as a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X800, sharing identical mechanical specifications. Because the Ø25 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a robust 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
With an 800 mm stroke, this unit provides extended travel for heavy-equipment actuation. It features adjustable cushions with a 29 mm length to decelerate the payload smoothly at stroke ends, and a body length A(SCD) of 263 mm. The through-rod design enhances bearing load symmetry and provides anti-rotation benefits for demanding off-highway environments.

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 large covers, doors, or sorting grates on construction machinery where the B04 designation ensures suitability for rugged operating conditions.
Moves heavy pallets or structural components back and forth on an 800 mm stroke, utilizing the identical push and pull force to maintain consistent cycle times.
Mounts tooling on both rod ends to actuate separate mechanisms simultaneously, leveraging the through-rod for better guidance and anti-rotation over the long stroke.
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need substantial equal-thrust capability in both directions, such as 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 125 mm bore increases output to 5734 N. For tasks needing only one-sided pushing, the single-rod SC series is lighter and more compact.
At 800 mm of travel, the unsupported rod length is significant; heavy side loads will cause bending, so an external guide or a fully guided cylinder is strongly recommended. To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) is required. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold the load when air pressure is removed, so a mechanical lock or external brake is necessary for position holding.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD100X800. It is mechanically identical to the base model, offering the same 100 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, and 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides equal force in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation characteristics, and allows tooling or a sensor flag to be mounted on the rear rod.
