The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X135S 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 135mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED32X135S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions. Because a 12mm rod exits both ends, the annular piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding a true equal force of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean profile that drops directly into standard ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
Fitted with the -S magnet option, this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors in the integrated barrel groove. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends (27mm cushion length) manage end-of-stroke energy, while the rear rod end provides a second mounting point for tooling, a cam, or a limit flag without needing extra space.

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).
The 345 N equal both-way force is perfect for compact grippers that clamp and release parts, using the rear rod to trigger a CMSE sensor for cycle confirmation.
Leverage the twin 12mm rods to drive two synchronized pick-off arms from one cylinder, ensuring parallel part ejection without torsional deflection.
The anti-rotation properties of the double-rod design keep the guide roller perfectly aligned, providing stable lateral correction for moving webs.
Choose this 32mm bore when you need compact 345 N bi-directional force. If your application requires less push, there is no smaller SED bore, but if you need more force, stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The twin-rod design inherently resists torsional load and provides superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for moving a load on one side while driving a secondary mechanism off the rear rod.
At 135mm stroke, the 12mm rod protrudes from both end covers, so verify your rear-rod clearance. To replace an existing ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 32mm bore, 135mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold position on air loss. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or a BSED series cylinder.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has equal piston area on both sides, it provides 345 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The maximum force is 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Just match the 32mm bore, 135mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting style. Note that SED omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts, offering only Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
