Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X180S
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X180S 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 180mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X180S
The AirTAC SED32X180S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 180mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the effective piston area is identical in each direction, yielding a perfectly symmetrical 345N of force on both extend and retract at 0.5MPa.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), it integrates seamlessly with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, and the field-adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration across its 30-800mm/s speed range.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X180S Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 180 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 SED32X180S Is Used
Web Guide Mechanisms
Provides 345N of equal both-way force to steer paper or film webs, using the rear rod end to mount a dancer roller cam for precise tension feedback.
Pick-and-Place Heads
Drives twin gripper arms simultaneously from both ends, ensuring the 180mm stroke remains perfectly parallel without rotational twist during component transfer.
Lab Dispense Valves
Actuates volumetric dosing valves where the rear protruding rod triggers an external DMSE electronic sensor, confirming exact fluid shot closure every cycle.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X180S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down is not an option as it is the smallest available size. Stepping up to the 40mm bore raises the both-way force to 528N at 0.5MPa. Choose this double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when your application requires superior anti-rotation guidance, dual-side load driving, or rear-rod tooling/cams. For a 180mm stroke, ensure your external guides support any moment loads to prevent side-load wear on the M10x1.25 rod threads and PT1/8 ports. Remember that the air cushions only decelerate the load near stroke end; a plain SED will drift on air loss, so specify a BSED rod-lock cylinder for fail-safe position holding.
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 SED32X180S FAQ
The SED32X180S provides equal force in both directions due to the double-rod design. It delivers 345N at 0.5MPa, 483N at 0.7MPa, and reaches a maximum of 70kgf at 1.0MPa.
Yes, the SED32X180S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile standards. Just verify your mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2) and ensure you leave extra rear clearance for the protruding back rod.
