Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X10
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder: a Ø25mm piston rod exits BOTH ends of the Ø100mm bore, giving equal force and speed in both directions and letting you mount tooling or a sensor flag on the back rod. Stroke 10mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X10
The AirTAC SED100X10 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 10mm stroke. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensing without modification.
Its extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, and the field-adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the load near stroke end. The protruding rear rod provides twin-side guidance to resist rotation and can mount a secondary cam or tooling head.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SED datasheet and ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 dimensions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP).
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf |
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective piston area — and therefore the force — is identical on extend and retract. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X10 Is Used
Press Pin Insertion
Drives dowel pins in automotive assembly jigs using 5153 N of equal both-way force, while the rear rod mounts a mechanical flag to confirm retraction.
Web Guide Braking
Clamps paper or foil webs in converting lines; the twin-rod design prevents chassis yaw during rapid 30-800 mm/s clamping cycles.
Dual-Side Transfer
Shuttles PCB pallets between pick-and-place robots, using the through-rod to synchronize an opposing gripper without adding a second cylinder.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore when you need 3681 N both-way force at 0.5 MPa (5153 N at 0.7 MPa). If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 80mm bore gives 2268 N both ways; if heavier, the 125mm bore provides 5734 N. As a double-rod unit, it excels over single-rod SE cylinders in anti-rotation and driving twin loads. Note that a plain SED drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates, it does not hold position; for fail-safe locking, use a BSED.
For ISO 15552 drop-in replacement, match the 100mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting from the SED set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2—omitting FB/CA/CB/CR). At this 10mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but external guides are still recommended for heavy lateral loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force/speed both directions needed?
- ✓ Back-rod space for tooling or a flag
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Support both rod ends; avoid side load.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB/FA/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X10 FAQ
Because the double-rod design has equal piston areas on both sides, it outputs 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 751 kgf at 1.0 MPa in both extend and retract directions.
No, a plain SED100X10 will drift on air loss. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. For fail-safe holding, use a BSED double-rod rod-lock cylinder or an external pilot-operated check valve.
