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.
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.

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 narrow blade carriage with equal 528 N force both ways, utilizing the short 10mm stroke for precise cuts without overtravel.
Clamps thin material against a feed roller. The twin-rod design prevents piston rotation, ensuring the press foot stays perfectly level.
Actuates a short diverter arm on a packaging line. The rear rod end protrudes to mount a physical limit flag for external mechanical signaling.
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
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.
