The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD63X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD63X600 is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X600 double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the base model, offering the same robust tie-rod construction and exact specifications.
Featuring a 63 mm bore and 600 mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder provides 1402 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. A Ø20 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust in both directions and improving anti-rotation characteristics. It includes adjustable cushions with a 28 mm length and operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

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 heavy cabin panels or access covers on construction equipment where equal force is needed in both extend and retract motions.
Mounts tooling on both rod ends to alternately push and pull components through a machining station without reversing the load.
The through-rod design provides better resistance to twist compared to a single rod, ensuring stable pushing of heavy machinery parts.
Choose this 63 mm bore when an application requires balanced 1402 N thrust both ways along with a long 600 mm stroke. If your machine needs less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N; if more power is required, an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. For jobs that do not require rear-side tooling or symmetric loading, a single-rod SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative.
Because this model features a 600 mm stroke, the extended unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under heavy side loads. Use an external guide rail or select a fully guided cylinder to prevent rod damage. Replacements must match the 63 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and lack of a magnetic sensor.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated line. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X600, featuring the exact same 63 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, and physical specifications.
The double-rod design provides identical 1402 N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also allows mounting tooling or a sensor flag on the rear rod and offers better anti-rotation stability than a single-rod cylinder.
