Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165 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 165mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165
The AirTAC SED32X165 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A 12mm rod exits both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas so output force is perfectly symmetrical. You get 345N of thrust and pull each way at 0.5MPa.
This unit lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it has no onboard position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel omits tie rods, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke kinetic energy. Remember to leave rear-rod clearance, as the total length exceeds a single-rod SE.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165 |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 165 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 SED32X165 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Grippers
Drives small pneumatic grippers in electronics assembly. The 345N both-way force and twin-rod anti-rotation keep delicate component transfers perfectly aligned.
PCB Stencil Wiping
Powering a dual-sided wiper blade across solder paste stencils. The symmetrical thrust ensures consistent blade pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Filament Guide Tracking
Guides and tensions 3D printer filament or fine wire. The rear rod end can mount a limit flag, while the 12mm rod resists torsional twisting under offset loads.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32mm bore if you need equal 345N force both directions and superior anti-rotation guidance. Stepping down is not an option since 32mm is the smallest SED. If your mechanism needs more push, the next size up is the 40mm bore, which provides 528N both ways at 0.5MPa.
A double rod lets the rear end drive a secondary mechanism or carry a cam. Note that air loss causes the piston to drift; the cushion decelerates but does not lock position. For fail-safe holding, specify a BSED rod-lock cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 165mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, 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 SED32X165 FAQ
Because the double-rod design creates equal piston areas on both sides, force is identical in both directions: 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 the piston from twisting under offset loads. The rear rod can also drive a secondary mechanism. It drops into any standard ISO 15552 footprint, but requires extra rear clearance for the protruding rod.
