The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X165S 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 SED32X165S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 165mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, yielding an identical effective piston area on extend and retract. It generates 345 N of output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends manage deceleration over the 27mm cushion 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 small pneumatic grippers requiring 345N both-way force. The twin 12mm rods prevent jaw rotation during electronic component transfer.
Feeds a cutting head at 30-800 mm/s. The rear rod end simultaneously actuates a cam to clamp the board, ensuring synchronized cutting pressure.
Applies 483N at 0.7MPa to press labels. The double-rod geometry maintains parallel contact across the web without skewing.
Choose this 32mm bore if your application requires 345 N at 0.5 MPa with equal force both ways. If you need less force, AirTAC does not offer a smaller SED bore. If your load demands more, step up to the 40mm bore which provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa. The twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation resistance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guiding loads or driving a secondary mechanism from the rear rod.
For a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement, match the 32mm bore, 165mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and desired mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Note that FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts are omitted from this series. Since the stroke is 165mm, ensure external guides are used to prevent side-loading on the 12mm rods. A plain SED does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use a BSED double-rod rod lock cylinder.
Quick checklist
Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, force is equal in both directions. It provides 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes. As an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders. Just match the 32mm bore, 165mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting style. Note the overall length is longer than a single-rod cylinder to accommodate the rear rod.
