Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X170
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.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X170
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.

|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 170 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 SED32X170 Is Used
Glass Edge Grinding
Provides 345N of equal both-way force for clamping and grinding fixtures, using the rear rod to drive a synchronized alignment cam.
PCB Shuttle Conveyor
Uses the twin-rod anti-rotation特性 to push circuit boards between stations without torsional deflection across the 170mm stroke.
Pick-and-Place Transfer
Mounts a secondary vacuum gripper on the rear rod end to move electronic components in opposite phases simultaneously.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X170 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 SED32X170 FAQ
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.
