The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD32X75 is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø12mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø32mm bore, 75mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD32X75 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD32X75 double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the standard SCD32X75. A Ø12 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding perfectly symmetric thrust of 345 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
Because the rod protrudes from both ends, you can mount tooling or a stopper on the rear side while gaining superior anti-rotation characteristics compared to a single-rod unit. This 75 mm stroke model features adjustable cushions (21 mm) to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends, and its retracted body length follows the SCD-specific A dimension of 187 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 | 346 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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.

Provides equal push and pull force for small pilot valve actuation or linkage positioning on heavy equipment, where the through-rod prevents rotational play.
Uses the rear rod extension as a mechanical stopper or sensor flag to synchronize material shuttling on construction machinery assembly lines.
Drives dual tooling or clamps simultaneously from a single cylinder body, saving space and ensuring symmetric bearing loads in tight equipment bays.
This 32 mm bore fits compact actuation tasks on heavy machinery where 345 N (0.5 MPa) of equal bidirectional force is sufficient. If your application requires less thrust, step down to a smaller bore; if you need substantially more power, consider the 40 mm bore which provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa. For jobs needing only one-sided pushing, the standard AirTAC SC single-rod cylinder is a lighter, more economical choice.
When replacing this unit, ensure the new cylinder matches five critical parameters: the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting style, and no magnet. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near end-of-stroke; it does not lock or hold the load. If your construction mechanism must maintain position without live air pressure, you must integrate an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD32X75. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X75 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 345 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and PT1/8 port.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force and speed in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The through-rod offers better anti-rotation guidance and allows rear-side tooling mounting, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot do.
