Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X240
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X240 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 240mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X240
The AirTAC SED100X240 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 240mm stroke. Because a rod extends from both end covers, the annular piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields exactly 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, preventing directional thrust imbalance.
This extruded aluminum profile cylinder omits external tie rods and integrates field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends. The rear rod extension can mount a cam or secondary tooling flag. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensing.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X240 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X240 |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 240 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 SED100X240 Is Used
Board Pressing Jigs
Uses the 5153N both-way force to evenly compress laminated wood panels, relying on the twin rods to prevent platen twisting during the 240mm travel.
Bottle Diverters
Pushes heavy beverage containers across packaging lanes using both rod ends, with the rear rod driving a mirrored cam for a synchronized return.
CNC Lathe Doors
Shifts heavy machine tool doors open and closed, leveraging the equal both-way thrust and anti-rotation properties of the dual 25mm rods.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X240 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, this 100mm bore provides 3681 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to the 80mm bore drops output to 2268 N, while the larger 125mm bore raises it to 5734 N. Choose the twin-rod SED over a single-rod SE when your application demands high anti-rotation resistance or needs to drive a mechanism from both ends simultaneously.
At 240mm stroke, ensure external guide rails share lateral loads to protect the 25mm rods. A standard SED will drift on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, use a BSED rod lock. Replacements must match the 100mm bore, 240mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting from the SED set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2.
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 SED100X240 FAQ
Because the double-rod design equalizes piston area, it delivers 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The maximum output is 751 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes. It is a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Just match the 100mm bore, 240mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and ensure you use an SED mounting style like FA, LB, or TC, as FB and CA styles are omitted.
