The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X130 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 130mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED40X130 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 standards. Because a 16mm rod exits both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding an equal 528N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is vital for mechanisms requiring perfectly balanced push-pull dynamics.
The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean profile that drops into standard ISO 15552 mounting interfaces. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the load near the 130mm stroke limits. Note this specific SKU lacks a standard magnet, so it cannot directly host CMSE or DMSE position sensors without modification.

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).
Provides 528N of equal thrust in both directions to steer paper or film webs precisely without rotational lag.
Uses the twin 16mm rods to push identical parts from two fixtures simultaneously during machining cycles.
Leverages the rear rod end to mount a cam, synchronizing a diverting flap with the main stroke motion.
Selecting this 40mm bore provides 528N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, step down to the 32mm bore for 345N; if your mechanism demands more thrust, step up to the 50mm bore for 1154N. Choose this double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when your application requires anti-rotation guidance, a rear-rod cam for secondary actuation, or perfectly symmetrical velocity.
To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 40mm bore, 130mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Remember that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss—the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED double-rod lock cylinder or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design subtracts the rod area from both sides, force is equal in both directions: 528N at 0.5 MPa, 739N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design prevents piston rotation, offers better load guidance, and allows tooling or cams on the rear rod. It is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
