The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD63X450S 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD63X450S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X450S double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates its heavy-equipment application focus without altering the core mechanics. Because the Ø12 rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa.
Featuring a 450 mm stroke and a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, this unit provides excellent anti-rotation characteristics and symmetric bearing loading. The adjustable cushion strokes are 28 mm, and the overall retracted length is based on a 210 mm body length A(SCD). It is a genuine AirTAC component engineered for demanding 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 | 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.

Drives auxiliary mechanisms on heavy equipment where the B04- prefix ensures suitability for construction machinery duty cycles and harsh jobsite conditions.
Moves fixtures equally in both directions using the symmetric push and pull output, with the rear rod acting as a stable mounting point for tooling.
Utilizes the dual-rod design for enhanced resistance to twist during part ejection, while the built-in magnet tracks end-of-stroke position via barrel sensors.
Choose this 63 mm bore when an application demands 1402 N of thrust both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N and saves space; if you need more power, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if rear tooling or symmetric force is unnecessary, while heavy side loads require a true guided cylinder rather than relying solely on the through-rod.
At 450 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases susceptibility to bending under lateral loads—use external guides to prevent rod damage. For exact replacements, match the 63 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. Note that air pressure loss will cause the piston to drift; a mechanical lock is required to hold loads safely.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated line. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X450S, offering the same 1402 N equal push/pull force, 450 mm stroke, and built-in magnet, but is designated for heavy-equipment builders.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better anti-rotation stability, symmetric bearing wear, and a rear rod extension for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
