The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X450 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 450mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED32X450 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A 12mm rod exits both end covers, yielding an identical annulus area on both sides. This means the cylinder outputs exactly 345 N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring clean integration.
This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet (-S), meaning it cannot trigger CMSE or DMSE position sensors directly. The rear rod protrusion allows you to mount a mechanical cam or external flag to actuate a separate sensor. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end, protecting your 450mm travel from impact.

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 a cutting blade with 345 N of equal both-way force, while the twin rods prevent blade twist during precision routing.
Moves light parts 450mm between stations. The rear rod mounts a physical trip cam for external limit switches since this SKU lacks a magnet.
Powers a dual-sided pick head that flips 180 degrees. The identical extend and retract forces ensure consistent cycle times.
At 450mm stroke, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to deflection and side loads. You must use external linear guides to prevent binding and premature seal wear. The 32mm bore outputs 345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, step down is not possible as 32mm is the smallest SED bore. If you need more force, the next size up is the 40mm bore, providing 528 N both ways at 0.5 MPa.
Choose this double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when your mechanism requires equal push and pull forces, or when you need to mount a secondary tooling bracket on the rear rod. Remember that a standard SED will drift if air pressure drops; for fail-safe position holding, use a BSED double-rod lock cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 unit, match the 32mm bore, 450mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and your mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design occupies both sides of the piston, the effective area is identical in both directions. The force is 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Extend and retract forces are perfectly equal.
This specific SKU does not include the internal magnet (-S), so it cannot trigger CMSE or DMSE sensors directly. However, the rear rod protrudes from the back cover, allowing you to mount a mechanical cam or external flag to actuate a separate sensor.
