The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X170 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 170mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED32X170 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a 12mm rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding a perfectly symmetrical 345N of force each way at 0.5MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel has no external tie rods, and adjustable air cushioning at both ends manages end-of-stroke deceleration.
This configuration omits the standard magnet option, meaning no CMSE or DMSE position sensing is installed on this SKU. The rear protruding rod is highly effective for mounting a cam or driving a secondary mechanism, providing superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder.

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).
Provides 345N of equal both-way force for clamping and grinding fixtures, using the rear rod to drive a synchronized alignment cam.
Uses the twin-rod anti-rotation特性 to push circuit boards between stations without torsional deflection across the 170mm stroke.
Mounts a secondary vacuum gripper on the rear rod end to move electronic components in opposite phases simultaneously.
When sizing this 32mm bore, note the adjacent capacities: stepping down is not an option as this is the smallest SED size, while stepping up to the 40mm bore increases both-way force to 528N at 0.5MPa. The twin-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SE when your mechanism requires dual-side guidance or rear-rod tooling. Remember that a standard SED does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe locking, specify a BSED double-rod lock cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 170mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting choice (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
The SED32X170 provides equal force in both directions due to its double-rod design. It delivers 345N at 0.5MPa, 483N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 70kgf at 1.0MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss. For fail-safe position holding, use an external rod lock or the BSED series.
