The AirTAC Airtac B04-SCD Specialized Standard Cylinder for Construction Machinery B04-SCD80X200S is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø25mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø80mm bore, 200mm stroke, PT3/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B04-SCD80X200S is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SCD80X200S double-rod cylinder. The B04- prefix designates it for heavy-equipment builders, but mechanically it is identical to the standard model, offering the same rugged tie-rod construction. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa.
This 80 mm bore unit features a 200 mm stroke and a built-in magnet (the S suffix) that allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for position signaling. It uses a Ø25 mm rod extending from both ends, PT3/8 ports, and 28 mm adjustable cushions to decelerate the piston near the end of travel. The retracted body length is based on the SCD A dimension of 257 mm, making it longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder.

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 | 2268 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N | 3175 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 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 mechanisms on heavy equipment where equal force both ways prevents mechanical binding during repetitive digging or grading cycles.
Moves parts across construction machinery assembly lines using the rear rod to carry a stopper flag, ensuring precise material placement without rotational drift.
Mounts a primary actuation tool on the front rod and a secondary return-sensor target on the rear rod, leveraging the 3175 N force at 0.7 MPa for heavy-duty forming tasks.
Choose this 80 mm bore when an application demands 2268 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism requires less force, stepping down to the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N each way. If you only need unidirectional pushing and do not require a rear rod for dual tooling or anti-rotation, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder will save space and weight. For loads needing precise linear guidance without side-load deflection, a dedicated guided cylinder is superior to relying solely on the through-rod.
When ordering a replacement, match these five attributes exactly: 80 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic mounting (or the required SCD accessory like F-SC80LB or F-SC80TC), and the built-in magnet (-S). The adjustable cushion decelerates the piston but does not lock or hold the load; if the machinery must hold position without live air pressure, fit an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve.
Double-rod checklist
The B04- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD80X200S, offering the exact same 80 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, and physical specs, but is designated for heavy-equipment builders.
The double-rod design provides equal push and pull force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation benefits, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
