The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD63X800S 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, 800mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD63X800S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD63X800S double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the standard SCD63X800S. It features a 63 mm bore and an 800 mm stroke, using a 20 mm diameter rod that passes through both end caps.
Because the rod occupies both chambers, the effective pressure area is balanced, yielding an identical push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track piston position along the 210 mm body length A(SCD). Adjustable cushions at both ends provide 28 mm of deceleration to protect the long stroke mechanics.

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 symmetric transfer arms on construction machinery where equal force is needed to push and pull heavy loads across an 800 mm span.
Simultaneously operates clamps or stops on both ends of an assembly fixture using the through-rod design to prevent rotational drift.
Uses the built-in magnet with externally mounted CMSG sensors to confirm extended and retracted positions in harsh equipment environments.
Choose this 63 mm bore when an application requires 1402 N of thrust in both directions; stepping down to a 50 mm bore drops the equal force to 825 N, while an 80 mm bore raises it to 2268 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional work and want to save envelope space, but the SCD through-rod offers superior anti-rotation resistance for dual-sided tooling.
At 800 mm of stroke, the unsupported 20 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Use an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to support the load rather than relying on the rod bearings alone. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC construction-machinery dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X800S, offering the same 63 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, and double-rod configuration without any changes to physical dimensions or performance.
The double-rod design provides identical push and pull forces of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa because the 20 mm rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also offers better rod guidance and anti-rotation properties compared to a single-rod SC cylinder, making it ideal for applications requiring symmetric dual-end tooling.
