The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X230 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 230mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED100X230 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a 25mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. It generates 3681 N of drive force each way at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly balanced motion for heavy loads.
This extruded aluminum cylinder features field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends to tame kinetic energy near stroke limits. It uses a PT1/2 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensing without modification. You must also leave rear-rod clearance for the 230mm stroke.

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 precision stamping platen requiring 5153 N of equal force in both directions, utilizing the twin rods to prevent platen twisting under offset loads.
Actuates a heavy-duty diverter arm on a packaging conveyor, using the rear rod end to mount a mechanical cam that triggers downstream sequencing.
Raises and lowers a 100kg machinery safety gate at matched speeds, relying on the 36mm adjustable cushion to softly decelerate the massive payload.
Choose this 100mm bore when you need 5153 N of equal both-way force at 0.7 MPa. If your application is lighter, stepping down to the 80mm bore yields 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier demands, the 125mm bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. The twin rods provide superior anti-rotation resistance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guided lifting. At 230mm stroke, external linear guides are recommended to handle side loads. Remember, a plain SED drifts on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use a BSED rod lock. ISO 15552 mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions. 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.
Yes. The SED100X230 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Just match the 100mm bore, 230mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting style. Ensure you leave clearance for the protruding rear rod.
