The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X210 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder: a Ø20mm piston rod exits BOTH ends of the Ø50mm bore, giving equal force and speed in both directions and letting you mount tooling or a sensor flag on the back rod. Stroke 210mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X210 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions. Because a Ø20 mm rod extends from both end covers, the annulus area is identical on each side. This means you get exactly 825 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions.
This unit features an extruded aluminum barrel with no external tie rods, adjustable air cushioning at both ends, and a PT1/4 port. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet; position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches is not supported without a different option code. The rear rod protrusion allows mounting a secondary cam or limit flag.

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 dual-sided deburring blade with 825 N of equal force, ensuring consistent pressure on both extend and retract strokes for flawless board edges.
Uses the twin rods to push and pull a diverter gate without twisting, maintaining precise alignment during high-speed conveyor sorting tasks.
Clamps a rotating splice head from both ends via the through-rod, delivering balanced 1154 N holding at 0.7 MPa to secure packaging material layers.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of equal both-way force at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 528 N both ways. For heavier drives, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. The twin-rod design inherently resists torsional rotation better than a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guided lifts. Since this is a plain pneumatic actuator, it will drift on air loss—the adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use a BSED or external lock for fail-safe holding.
At 210 mm of stroke, the extended rod length requires careful rear-clearance planning. Furthermore, the long twin rods are susceptible to bending under lateral stress; always pair this cylinder with external linear guides to prevent side-load damage. To replace an existing ISO 15552 unit, match the 50 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It outputs 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and reaches a maximum of 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. A standard SED cylinder will drift downward if air pressure is lost, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock it. For fail-safe position holding, you need a BSED double-rod rod-lock cylinder or an external pilot-operated check valve.
