The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD63X75 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, 75mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD63X75 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B04- prefix designates it as a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the standard SCD63X75. It is mechanically identical to the base model, delivering 1402 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The through-rod design protrudes from both end caps, providing symmetrical bearing loading and superior anti-rotation characteristics for heavy equipment.
With a 63 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, this unit features a 20 mm diameter rod on both ends and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable cushion strokes are 28 mm, ensuring smooth deceleration at stroke ends. Its retracted length is based on the 210 mm body length A(SCD), which is longer than a single-rod SC cylinder to accommodate the dual protruding rods.

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 symmetric pushing and pulling movements on heavy-duty construction equipment linkages where equal force both ways prevents linkage binding.
Actuates material transfer tables on concrete pumps or pavers, utilizing the rear rod for mounting a stopper block or stroke sensor flag.
Operates opposing tooling heads simultaneously from a single cylinder body, saving space and ensuring synchronized movement in tight machine bays.
Select this 63 mm bore when an application demands 1402 N of thrust in both directions, such as synchronizing two-sided mechanisms on an excavator or loader. If your machine requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N each way; if more power is needed, an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if rear tooling or symmetric loading is unnecessary, while a true guided cylinder is required for heavy off-center side loads.
For direct replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) for CMSG/DMSG sensors was originally present. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near end caps and does not lock the load; if the mechanism must hold position without live air pressure, fit an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is a construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD63X75. It shares the exact same physical specifications, 1402 N equal push/pull force, and dimensions as the standard model, simply designated for heavy-equipment builders.
The double-rod design ensures push and pull forces are identical at 1402 N (0.5 MPa) because the 20 mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also provides better rod guidance, anti-rotation resistance, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors.
