Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X180
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X180 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 180mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X180
The AirTAC SED100X180 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal 3681 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, ensuring clean integration and true ISO 15552 dimensional interchangeability.
This unit features a PT1/2 port, a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the 180 mm stroke. It ships without a magnet (-S), so it has no built-in CMSE or DMSE position sensing on this SKU. The rear rod extension is perfect for mounting a cam or driving a secondary mechanism.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X180 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X180 |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 180 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 SED100X180 Is Used
Servo Press Toggling
Drives a heavy press toggle requiring 3681 N of equal bidirectional force to form metal brackets without rotational deflection.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Uses the rear rod to trip a mechanical flag, synchronizing a 751 kgf max push with an upstream packaging machine.
Mold Extraction Arm
Extracts heavy injection molds using twin-rod anti-rotation stability, ensuring perfectly parallel ejection across the 180 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X180 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore, step down to an 80 mm SED if you only need 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 125 mm bore for 5734 N if your payload exceeds 5153 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose this double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when your application demands anti-rotation stability, dual-side guidance, or rear-rod tooling. A plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or a BSED double-rod rod-lock cylinder. For ISO 15552 drop-in replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounting.
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 SED100X180 FAQ
Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, force is equal 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.
The twin rods guide the load against rotation far better than a single rod. The rear rod end can carry a sensor flag, cam, or tooling, and the ISO 15552 footprint makes it a drop-in replacement for other double-rod cylinders.
