The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X165 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 165mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED100X165 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a Ø25 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.
This unit features an extruded aluminum barrel with no external tie rods. It includes field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends (36 mm stroke) to manage deceleration. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host CMSE or DMSE position sensors.

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 5153 N stamping platen where the twin rods prevent torsional deflection during high-impact precision metal forming.
Actuates a heavy diverter gate on a packaging line, using the equal both-way force to reliably push and retract 751 kgf loads.
Powers a rotary indexer cam where the extended rear rod mechanically trips a mechanical limit valve without electronic sensors.
Select this 100 mm bore when an application demands 5153 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.7 MPa. If you need less output, step down to the 80 mm bore (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). If you require more, the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa.
Choose this double-rod configuration over a single-rod SE when you need superior anti-rotation guidance or wish to mount a rear cam. Remember that a plain SED drifts on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use a BSED or external lock. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 165 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and reaches a maximum of 751 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design provides superior load guidance and prevents piston rotation. It also allows the rear rod to drive a secondary mechanism. Remember to leave rear-rod clearance, as the overall length is longer than a single-rod cylinder.
