Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X260S
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X260S 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 260mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X260S
The AirTAC SED100X260S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 dimension standard. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This gives you exactly 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, preventing directional force mismatch.
The extruded aluminum barrel has no external tie rods. The protruding rear rod can drive a secondary mechanism or mount a DMSE electronic sensor flag. A factory-installed magnet (-S) enables position sensing, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends manage deceleration over the 36 mm cushion length.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X260S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X260S |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 260 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 SED100X260S Is Used
Servo Press Platen
Drives a 260mm stroke press platen with 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, using the twin rods to prevent rotational drift during high-force metal stamping.
Pallet Transfer Gate
Actuates a heavy conveyor diverting gate. The rear rod mounts a cam to trigger a DMSE electronic sensor, confirming the 3681 N extend stroke completed.
Mold Separation Arm
Pushes and pulls a mold separation arm equally in both directions. The ISO 15552 footprint allows drop-in replacement without altering mount plates.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X260S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore yields 3681 N both ways. If you need less force, the 80mm bore provides 2268 N. If your application requires more thrust, the 125mm bore provides 5734 N. Choose this double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when you need anti-rotation guidance or rear-side tooling.
This cylinder uses a PT1/2 port and a Ø25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread. At 260 mm stroke, the extended rod length requires rear clearance. For external guide support against side loads, use the rear rod end. A plain SED does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use a BSED double-rod rod lock.
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 SED100X260S FAQ
Because the double-rod design has equal piston area on both sides, 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 SED100X260S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Match the 100mm bore, 260mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) for a drop-in replacement.
