The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X85 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 85mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X85 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract. It generates exactly 825 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
This 50mm bore unit features a PT1/4 port, a 20mm rod, and adjustable air cushions at both ends. The rear rod extension is perfect for mounting a cam or driving a secondary mechanism. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support position sensing 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 opposing deburring tools simultaneously. The 825 N equal both-way force ensures consistent cutting pressure on extend and retract.
Clamps packaging film webs from both sides. Twin rods prevent jaw misalignment during the 85mm splice cycle.
Transfers small electronic modules using twin grippers. The rear rod end mounts a mechanical limit flag for sequencing.
Choose this 50mm bore if your application requires 825 N of bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, step down to the 40mm bore providing 528 N both ways. For heavier loads, step up to the 63mm bore yielding 1402 N. The twin-rod design inherently resists torsion and provides superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder.
Remember that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED rod-lock cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 unit, match the 85mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting choice (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions. It outputs 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 provide identical extend and retract forces, prevent piston rotation, and allow you to mount tooling or a sensor flag on the rear rod end. It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.
