Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X160S 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 160mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X160S
The AirTAC SED32X160S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because a 12mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This yields equal force and speed in both directions, delivering 345N at 0.5MPa and 483N at 0.7MPa each way.
Fitted with the -S magnet, it supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The extruded aluminum barrel has no tie rods, and the adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the load near stroke end. The rear rod extension provides a second mounting point for tooling or a cam.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X160S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X160S |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Configuration | Double rod, double acting |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| 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, 27 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1000 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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 SED32X160S Is Used
PCB Edge Guiding
Uses the 483N bidirectional force to clamp and align delicate printed circuit boards on a conveyor without rotational drift.
Pick-and-Place Transfer
The rear rod end drives a secondary cam mechanism, timing a parts transfer with equal push and pull speeds.
Lab Sample Ejection
Leverages the anti-rotation twin-rod design to push test tubes out of a carousel straight, avoiding jamming.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore if you need 345N of bidirectional force at 0.5MPa. Stepping down is not an option as 32mm is the smallest SED bore. If your application requires more push, the next size up is the 40mm bore, which provides 528N at 0.5MPa. The twin-rod design prevents rod rotation, making it superior to a single-rod SE cylinder for lifting or guiding loads.
This cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts without pressure. For fail-safe holding, use a BSED double-rod rod lock or external check valve. With a 160mm stroke, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent binding. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 32mm bore, 160mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting style (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 SED32X160S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is identical in both directions. It provides 345N at 0.5MPa, 483N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 70kgf at 1.0MPa.
The twin rods provide better load guidance and prevent rotation. The rear protruding rod can also mount a sensor flag or drive a second mechanism, which a single-rod cylinder cannot do.
