Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X10
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder: a Ø16mm piston rod exits BOTH ends of the Ø40mm bore, giving equal force and speed in both directions and letting you mount tooling or a sensor flag on the back rod. Stroke 10mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X10
The AirTAC SED40X10 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a 16mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This means you get exactly 528 N of output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
With a short 10mm stroke, this extruded aluminum barrel cylinder excels in compact clamping and ejection tasks. The rear rod end can mount a cam or drive a secondary mechanism. It features field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends and uses a standard PT1/4 port.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X10 Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Configuration | Double rod, double acting |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| 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, 30 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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 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 SED40X10 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a narrow blade carriage with equal 528 N force both ways, utilizing the short 10mm stroke for precise cuts without overtravel.
Leather Skiving Press
Clamps thin material against a feed roller. The twin-rod design prevents piston rotation, ensuring the press foot stays perfectly level.
Bottle Divert Gate
Actuates a short diverter arm on a packaging line. The rear rod end protrudes to mount a physical limit flag for external mechanical signaling.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X10 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40mm bore when you need equal 528 N force both ways in a tight 10mm stroke package. If your project requires less force, the 32mm bore provides 345 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, step up to the 50mm bore which yields 825 N both ways. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support CMSE or DMSE position sensors without modification. For drop-in replacement, match the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and your required mounting from the SED set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; use a BSED double-rod rod lock for fail-safe 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 SED40X10 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is identical in both directions. It provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design provides equal force and speed on extend and retract. It also offers better anti-rotation guidance and provides a rear rod end that can drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag.
