Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X45S
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X45S 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 45mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X45S
The AirTAC SED40X45S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 45mm stroke. A 16mm rod exits both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas. This means drive force is perfectly symmetrical, generating about 528 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods for a clean profile.
Equipped with a standard -S magnet, this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends provide 30mm of deceleration, while the PT1/4 porting ensures rapid pressurization for its 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X45S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X45S |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 |
| Max stroke | Up to 1200 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 SED40X45S Is Used
PCB Edge-Trimmer
Drives a self-aligning cutter using the 528 N equal both-way force to cleanly shear board edges without rotational drift.
Shuttle Transfer Gate
Uses the twin 16mm rods to push and pull a light parts shuttle between stations, maintaining parallel load tracking.
Film Web Splicer
Actuates a nip roller from both ends to ensure uniform web tension, leveraging the 45mm short stroke for rapid clamping.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED40X45S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore when an application demands 528 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less push, step down to the 32mm bore delivering 345 N both ways; if your load is heavier, step up to the 50mm bore providing 825 N. The twin-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SE cylinder when you need superior anti-rotation guidance or wish to drive a secondary mechanism from the rear rod. For position holding during air loss, note that a standard SED drifts; you would need a BSED rod-lock variant or external brake.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40mm bore, 45mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting choice (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). The -S suffix confirms the internal magnet is installed for DMSE/CMSE sensors.
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 SED40X45S FAQ
Because the double-rod design creates equal annulus areas on both sides, output force is identical in extend and retract. It provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Match the 40mm bore, 45mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Ensure you leave rear-rod clearance, as the rod protrudes both covers.
