The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X325 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 325mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X325 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 interface. Because a 20 mm rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. It yields 825 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa, preventing directional force imbalance.
This extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods and provides field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends to decelerate the load before impact. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning no CMSE reed or DMSE electronic position sensors can be mounted directly in the barrel groove.

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 325 mm transfer pusher on a packaging line, using the balanced 825 N both-way force to shuttle cartons without kickback force.
Actuates an indexing drum where the rear rod end mounts a cam, leveraging twin-rod anti-rotation to keep the drum orientation exact.
Positions a web edge guide in a paper mill, using the protruding rear rod to connect a tensioner while maintaining 1154 N at 0.7 MPa.
Choose this 50 mm bore if your mechanism needs 825 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 40 mm bore for 528 N, or up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N, both at 0.5 MPa. A twin-rod design suits applications needing rear-rod tooling, a cam flag, or superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder.
At 325 mm stroke, the extended rod length demands external linear guides to handle side loads and prevent binding. A plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts. For fail-safe holding, select a BSED double-rod rod lock cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 50 mm bore, 325 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has equal piston areas on both sides, it generates 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa in both directions.
The twin rods provide equal force both ways and better resist load rotation. The rear rod can drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag. It drops into any ISO 15552 footprint but omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mountings.
