The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X700S 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 700mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X700S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 interface. A single piston drives a 20mm rod out of both end covers, yielding an identical annulus area on both sides. This design outputs an equal 825 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean profile.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The rear rod extension is highly useful for mounting a secondary cam, operating a limit flag, or driving a secondary mechanism. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends provide kinetic energy absorption near stroke extremes.

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 opposing edge-guide rollers on film or paper lines. The twin rods provide equal 825 N tensioning force both ways, keeping the web centered without rotational drift.
Actuates synchronized diverters on packaging conveyors. The rear rod simultaneously pushes a secondary gate, moving both sides at exactly the same speed.
Raises and lowers heavy glass handling fixtures. The double-ended design resists twisting loads during vertical transit, ensuring the panel remains perfectly level.
With a 700mm stroke, the protruding rear rod requires careful machine layout to provide adequate clearance. At this length, side loads cause rod bending; always use external linear guides to prevent binding and premature seal wear. The 50mm bore yields 825 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 40mm bore provides 528 N both ways. If your load requires more, step up to the 63mm bore for 1402 N both ways.
Choose this double-rod configuration over a single-rod SE cylinder when your application demands high resistance to rotation or needs simultaneous actuation on two opposite sides. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, specify a BSED double-rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve. This direct ISO 15552 replacement matches a 50mm bore, 700mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and your required mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective piston area is identical in both directions. It delivers 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin rods offer superior resistance to side-load twisting and allow you to mount a rear cam or sensor flag. It also provides equal speed and force on extend and retract, which is critical for synchronized dual-side mechanisms.
