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.
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.

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 small pneumatic grippers in electronics assembly. The 345N both-way force and twin-rod anti-rotation keep delicate component transfers perfectly aligned.
Powering a dual-sided wiper blade across solder paste stencils. The symmetrical thrust ensures consistent blade pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
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.
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
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.
