The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD63X900 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, 900mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD63X900 is an AirTAC construction-machinery dedicated double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix marks it as a heavy-equipment builder variant that is mechanically identical to the standard SCD63X900. It features a 63mm bore and a 900mm stroke, driven by a Ø20mm piston rod passing through both end caps.
Because the rod occupies both chambers, the effective pressure area is identical in each direction, yielding an equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The unit includes adjustable cushions with a 28mm length and has a body length A(SCD) of 210mm, making it well-suited for heavy-duty two-sided actuation on job sites.

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 pushing and pulling motions on heavy equipment linkages where equal force in both travel directions prevents linkage binding.
Moves construction materials between two fixed stations using both rod ends to carry tooling, ensuring consistent speed and thrust on the advance and return.
Utilizes the through-rod design for better anti-rotation resistance when pushing heavy molds or components on a concrete paver, though a true guided cylinder is needed for high side loads.
This 63mm bore provides 1402 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. If your construction mechanism requires less force, stepping down to the 50mm bore drops the output to 825 N, while moving up to the 80mm bore increases it to 2268 N. If the application only needs tooling on one side and can tolerate unequal return force, a single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder saves space.
At 900mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length is substantial. To prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear under side loads, use an external guide rail or select a dedicated guided cylinder. For exact replacements, match the 63mm bore, 900mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) is required.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD63X900. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, offering the same 63mm bore, 900mm stroke, and double-rod configuration.
The double-rod design provides equal push and pull forces of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also allows mounting tooling or a stopper on the rear rod and offers better rod guidance than a single-rod cylinder.
