Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø20mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S
The B04-SCD50X1000S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder built for construction machinery. The B04- prefix marks it as a heavy-equipment dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X1000S. It uses a 50 mm bore and a 1000 mm stroke, generating 825 N of equal force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
A through rod protrudes from both end caps, carrying a 20 mm diameter shaft on each side. This design provides symmetric bearing loading and allows tooling or a stopper flag to mount on the rear. The barrel measures 207 mm in body length A(SCD) and includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm stroke length to decelerate the piston near the ends. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG or DMSG sensors to track position along the 1000 mm travel.
Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 1000 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod thread | M16×1.5 |
| 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, 21 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1200 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm, double rod)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 825 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1155 N | 1155 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 168 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.

Where the Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S Is Used
Excavator Panel Shuttling
Drives two-sided actuation for moving heavy cab panels on earthmoving equipment, utilizing the equal push and pull force to handle loads symmetrically.
Crane Counterweight Stopper
Uses the rear protruding rod as a physical stopper flag on mobile cranes, ensuring precise positioning while the front rod executes the primary push function.
Non-Rotating Pusher
Employs the through-rod geometry for anti-rotation pushing of heavy structural components during automated welding or assembly on construction machinery frames.
Is the Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires 825 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. If your machine needs less force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N; if more power is required, stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if rear tooling is unnecessary, while a guided cylinder is better for heavy lateral loads.
With a 1000 mm stroke, the unsupported rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; use an external guide rail to prevent damage. For exact replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option.
Double-rod checklist
- ✓ Need equal force / speed both directions?
- ✓ Rear rod for tooling, stopper or sensor flag?
- ✓ Better rod guidance / anti-rotation?
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Keep BOTH rod ends clear of side load and interference.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCD mounting accessory (FA / LB / TC / TCM1).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD50X1000S FAQ
The B04- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC construction-machinery dedicated variant. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X1000S, offering the same 50 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces because the 20 mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation characteristics, and a rear shaft for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
