Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X55
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X55 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 55mm, PT1/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X55
The AirTAC SED32X55 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 55mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding exactly 345 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean profile that drops into standard ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This SKU ships without a magnet, meaning it is not ready for CMSE or DMSE position sensing out of the box. It uses a PT1/8 port and a 12mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends allow you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration for the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X55 Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 55 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 SED32X55 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a dual-sided blade carriage with 345 N of equal force both ways, ensuring smooth, jam-free cutting pressure on compact circuit boards.
Shuttle Transfer Gate
Uses the rear rod end to push a secondary diverter flag simultaneously, perfectly synchronizing part flow without adding a second valve.
Pick-and-Place Gripper
Leverages the twin-rod anti-rotation property to keep a small 12mm rod-end tooling plate perfectly aligned during fast 55mm vertical placements.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED32X55 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore when you need compact, equal bidirectional force. Stepping down is not an option as this is the smallest SED bore. If you need more power, the next size up is the 40mm bore, providing 528 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. The twin-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SE cylinder when you need to drive two mechanisms in parallel, mount a rear cam, or resist rotational torque. Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED double-rod rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve. To replace an existing ISO 15552 unit, match the 32mm bore, 55mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting set (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 SED32X55 FAQ
Because the double-rod design occupies piston area on both sides, 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.
This specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it will not work with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. You must select an SED model with the '-S' suffix if you require position sensing.
