The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X850S 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 850mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X850S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an 850 mm stroke and a 50 mm bore. A piston rod exits both end covers, meaning the effective annulus area is identical on extension and retraction. This geometry yields perfectly symmetrical thrust: 825 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean profile that drops in dimensionally for any ISO 15552 footprint.
Equipped with a magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-travel detection. The protruding rear rod is highly valuable for mounting a secondary cam, driving a separate mechanism, or providing twin-side load guidance to resist rotation. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the 30 mm cushion stroke, though they act only as end-of-stroke dampers, not as fail-safe locks.

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).
Uses the symmetrical 825 N bi-directional force to tension and steer packaging film webs without rotational deflection during 850 mm strokes.
Drives a 50 mm bore parts shuttle between two CNC stations, leveraging the rear rod for a secondary cam while maintaining equal 1154 N thrust at 0.7 MPa.
Deploys the twin-rod anti-rotation stability to lift and lower heavy display panels smoothly across an 850 mm span without binding.
Selecting this 50 mm bore makes sense when your application demands equal 825 N bi-directional force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less push, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N both ways; if you require more power, stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N at the same pressure. The twin-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SE cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability, dual-side load driving, or rear-mounted sensing flags.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement, match the 850 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod-end thread, and -S magnet. Because the stroke is 850 mm, the long rod is susceptible to sagging and side-load buckling; always pair it with external linear guides to prevent premature seal wear. Remember that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss—the piston drifts—so specify a BSED double-rod rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both ends, the force is identical in both directions. It provides 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 168 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation guidance and allows the rear rod to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag. It also maintains equal force both ways, which is critical for symmetrical web-tensioning tasks.
