The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED100X280 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 280mm, PT1/2 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED100X280 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 280mm stroke. Because a 25mm rod occupies both piston sides, the annulus area is identical in each direction, yielding an equal 3681 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean, dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 footprint.
This unit lacks the -S magnet option, meaning no CMSE or DMSE position sensing is integrated on this SKU. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends safely decelerate the 25mm twin rods near stroke limits. The rear rod extension can drive a secondary mechanism or mount a physical limit flag, while the dual-rod geometry provides superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder.

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 pusher tubes to load raw bar stock into CNC spindles, using the 3681 N equal both-way force to advance and retract material smoothly without rotational drift.
Utilizes the rear rod end to mount a mechanical cam, actuating a secondary mold release mechanism precisely when the main stroke completes its 280mm travel.
Applies 5153 N at 0.7 MPa to halt heavy pallets on a conveyor line, with the twin-rod design ensuring the stopper blade remains perfectly perpendicular to the load.
Select this 100mm bore when your application requires 3681 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa (5153 N at 0.7 MPa, 751 kgf max at 1.0 MPa). If you need less force, step down to the 80mm bore providing 2268 N both ways; for heavier loads, the 125mm bore offers 5734 N. The twin-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SE when the load demands anti-rotation stability, dual-side guidance, or rear-rod tooling.
For a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement, match the 280mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. Mounting choices include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 (omitting FB/CA/CB/CR). At 280mm stroke, maintain external guide rails to manage potential side loads. Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts, and the adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, specify a BSED double-rod rod lock.
Quick checklist
Because the 25mm rod exits both ends, the effective area is identical in both directions. The SED100X280 generates 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 751 kgf at 1.0 MPa, equally on extend and retract.
Yes. It is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder with no external tie rods. To drop-in replace an existing unit, match the 100mm bore, 280mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and select from the available Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounting interfaces.
