The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X225 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 225mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X225 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for symmetrical load handling. Because a 20mm rod exits both end covers, the annular piston area is identical on extend and retract. This yields equal force both ways, generating 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction.
This unit features an extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods, running at 30-800 mm/s. Adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the 225mm stroke. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot 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).
Drives a clamping fixture with 825 N of equal force in both directions, ensuring delicate circuit boards are held flat without rotational skew during the deburring process.
Uses the twin-rod architecture to guide a fabric roller from both ends simultaneously, preventing snags while maintaining consistent tension across the 225mm stroke.
Actuates opposing label applicators where the rear rod end cams a secondary mechanism, leveraging the 1154 N output at 0.7 MPa for crisp, synchronized placement.
Selecting this 50mm bore provides 825 N of bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, step down to the 32mm bore (345 N both ways); if you need more power, step up to the 63mm bore (1402 N both ways). The twin-rod design is chosen over a single-rod SE cylinder when you need superior anti-rotation resistance or wish to drive a secondary mechanism from the rear rod end.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it drops in dimensionally for any standard double-rod footprint using PT1/4 ports and an M16x1.5 rod thread. Note that the rear protruding rod requires clearance. Because the 225mm stroke exceeds 300mm? No, but at 225mm you should still ensure external load guides to prevent side-load binding. A plain SED does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use a BSED double-rod rod lock.
Quick checklist
The SED50X225 provides equal force in both extend and retract directions due to its 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.
Yes. The SED50X225 is a true ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 profile cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable with any standard ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder matching its 50mm bore, 225mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
