The AirTAC Airtac SCD Standard Cylinder SCD63X670S 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, 670mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCD63X670S delivers perfectly balanced motion with an identical 1402 N of force in both extend and retract at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The through-rod design, using a 20 mm diameter rod protruding from both ends, eliminates force differential, making it ideal for applications where the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, stopper bolt, or secondary tooling.
With a 670 mm stroke and a body length A of 210 mm, this double-acting cylinder provides a long, controlled working range. The built-in magnet, designated by the 'S' suffix, allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing, while the adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly over the 28 mm cushion length.

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.

Utilize the rear rod to operate a secondary mechanism, such as a clamp or ejector, in perfect synchronization with the main front-rod tooling, thanks to the equal force and speed in both directions.
The dual-rod support provides enhanced resistance to rotation, making it suitable for pushing or lifting loads where maintaining a fixed orientation without a separate anti-rotate guide is critical.
The built-in magnet (-S) and exposed rear rod create a clean setup for mounting CMSG/DMSG sensors on the barrel to detect end-of-stroke, while using the rear rod end for a hard stop or visual position indicator.
This 63 mm bore unit is a strong mid-range choice, offering nearly double the force of the 50 mm bore (825 N at 0.5 MPa) without the larger footprint of the 80 mm (2268 N). Choose the SCD double-rod when you need the rear rod for work or feedback; if only one end requires a rod, the standard SC single-rod cylinder is simpler and more compact. For direct replacement, match bore (63 mm), stroke (670 mm), PT port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S). At this 670 mm stroke, be mindful of the long unsupported rod extension—if the load applies any side force, add an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Double-rod checklist
The push and pull forces are identical because the piston rod passes through both ends. At 0.5 MPa it produces 1402 N, at 0.7 MPa it's 1962 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it delivers 2523 N in both directions.
Choose the SCD when you need a rod on both ends of the cylinder. This allows you to mount tooling or a sensor flag on the rear rod, provides better guidance and anti-rotation than a single rod, and guarantees perfectly equal force and speed for both extend and retract strokes, which a single-rod cylinder cannot do.
