The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X125S 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 125mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED100X125S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a 25 mm rod exits both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields exactly 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, providing perfectly balanced thrust for demanding motion control.
Equipped with a -S magnet, this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near stroke limits. The rear rod extension can drive a secondary mechanism or mount a cam.

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.

Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B). Seals: TPU (blank) / FKM high-temp (H) / NBR (N). Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting (SED): Basic, LB, FA, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2. Related: SE (single rod), SEJ (double-rod adjustable stroke), BSED (double-rod rod lock).
Drives a machining platen requiring 3681 N of perfectly balanced force both directions, utilizing the twin rods to prevent torsional deflection during heavy cutting cycles.
Actuates a heavy-duty conveyor diverting gate. The rear rod end mounts a physical cam to trigger mechanical switches, while the front rod pushes 751 kgf max loads smoothly.
Ejects molded parts symmetrically from a press. The equal extend and retract speeds keep the ejection cycle stable, while DMSE electronic sensors track position precisely.
Choose this 100 mm bore when an application requires 3681 N of bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N both ways. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N. The twin-rod design inherently resists torsion and side loads better than a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guided lifting. Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe locking, select a BSED or use an external rod lock. To replace an existing ISO 15552 unit, match the 125 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has the same annulus area on both sides, force is equal in both directions. It provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 751 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin rods provide equal force and speed in both directions, offer superior anti-rotation resistance for guided loads, and allow tooling or sensors to be mounted on the rear rod end. It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod profile cylinders.
