The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD63X125S 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. Ø63mm bore, 125mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD63X125S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD63X125S double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the standard model. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull thrust of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa.
This unit features a built-in magnet (the S suffix) so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can clamp directly onto the barrel for position signaling. It uses a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends, PT1/8 ports, and an adjustable cushion stroke of 28 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke end. The retracted body length A(SCD) is 210 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 | 1402 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1962 N | 1962 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 286 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.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Drives secondary construction-machinery mechanisms where equal force and speed are needed in both directions to move heavy linkage components safely.
Moves parts back and forth on an assembly line using both rod ends, ensuring symmetric bearing loading and consistent cycle times.
Mounts a tool on one rod end and a sensor flag on the opposite end, using the built-in magnet to confirm exact stroke positions.
This 63 mm bore offers a robust 1402 N output in both directions. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore provides 825 N each way, while moving up to an 80 mm bore yields 2268 N. If you only need thrust in one direction and want to simplify mounting, a single-rod SC cylinder is a lighter alternative. For loads requiring strict anti-rotation under heavy side load, a dedicated guided cylinder is superior to relying on the through-rod alone.
To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting style, and the built-in magnet (-S). The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not lock or hold the load. If the mechanism must maintain its position without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC construction-machinery dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X125S, offering the same 63 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, and double-rod configuration, but is designated for heavy-equipment manufacturing.
The double-rod design provides equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also allows mounting tooling or sensors on both ends and offers better rod guidance and anti-rotation characteristics than a single-rod cylinder.
