Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X160
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X160 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 160mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X160
The AirTAC SED100X160 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder offering 160 mm of stroke. A 25 mm piston rod extends from both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas on both sides. This geometry generates an equal 3681 N of drive force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean, dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 footprint.
This specific configuration uses a default PT1/2 port and a 20x1.5 rod-end thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensing. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the load near stroke ends, though they do not function as locking brakes.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X160 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X160 |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Configuration | Double rod, double acting |
| Port size | PT1/2 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C (0–150 °C with FKM seals) |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 36 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1500 mm |
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 SED100X160 Is Used
Servo Press Equalization
Drives a 5153 N press at 0.7 MPa where the rear rod simultaneously triggers a mechanical cam, ensuring balanced force during metal stamping.
Web Guide Anti-Rotation
Guides a heavy paper mill roller assembly with its twin 25 mm rods, preventing torsional twist while delivering 3681 N of pull at 0.5 MPa.
Dual-Side Conveyor Transfer
Actuates a 100 mm bore transfer gate where the protruding rear rod mounts a physical limit flag, moving parts with 751 kgf max capacity.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X160 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore when an application demands 5153 N of symmetrical force at 0.7 MPa. If your load requires less force, step down to the 80 mm bore, which provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. The twin-rod design is essential when a machine needs anti-rotation guidance, a rear-rod cam for actuating secondary mechanisms, or perfectly balanced push and pull cycles.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting choice from the SED set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that a plain SED cannot hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or the BSED double-rod rod-lock series. At 160 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but external guides should still carry the primary load weight.
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 SED100X160 FAQ
Because the double-rod design has equal piston areas on both sides, the force is identical in both directions: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 751 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes. The SED100X160 is an ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a PT1/2 port and 36 mm adjustable cushions. It drops in for any standard ISO 15552 footprint using Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounts.
