The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X120 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder: a Ø12mm piston rod exits BOTH ends of the Ø32mm bore, giving equal force and speed in both directions and letting you mount tooling or a sensor flag on the back rod. Stroke 120mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED32X120 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder operating on the ISO 15552 interface. Because a 12mm rod exits both end covers, the effective piston area is identical in both directions, yielding a balanced 345 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa.
This twin-rod layout excels at driving dual mechanisms or mounting a rear cam for position feedback. Note this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors without modification. It features adjustable air cushioning at both ends over a 27mm stroke length.

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 circular blade forward and retracts it at identical 345 N speeds, utilizing the rear rod to push a synchronized dust extraction hood.
Feeds copper wire through a die; the twin 12mm rods prevent rotational twist during the 120mm extend cycle, ensuring flat wire output.
Powers an opposing parallel gripper where equal 483 N force at 0.7 MPa is required on both the clamping and release strokes.
Select this 32mm bore when you need 345 N of perfectly symmetrical force across a 120mm stroke. If your project requires less push, there is no smaller SED bore, but if you need more power, stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 528 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Since the stroke exceeds 100mm, ensure external guides support the load to prevent side-loading on the 12mm rods.
This cylinder is a drop-in replacement for any ISO 15552 double-rod unit matching its PT1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mountings (note the omission of FB/CA/CB/CR variants). Remember that a standard SED does not hold position upon air loss; for fail-safe locking, specify a BSED series cylinder.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design subtracts the rod area on both sides, force is equal in both directions: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes. The SED32X120 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562. Just match the 32mm bore, 120mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
