The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED50X900S 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 900mm, PT1/4 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED50X900S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. A 20mm rod extends from both end covers, yielding an identical annulus area on both sides of the piston. This means you get exactly 825 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, and the field-adjustable air cushions at both ends allow you to fine-tune deceleration over the 900mm travel.

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 guide rollers on film or foil lines. The twin rods prevent torsional twist over the 900mm span, while the equal 825 N force ensures consistent tensioning both ways.
Pushes pallets from a main conveyor to a labeling station. The rear rod end mounts a DMSE electronic sensor flag, providing a physical confirmation signal independent of the primary tooling.
Actuates synchronized gripper jaws for vertical glass lifts. The symmetrical 1154 N force at 0.7 MPa guarantees both jaws clamp with identical pressure without requiring flow controls.
Choose this 50mm bore when you need 825 N of equal both-way force at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, step down to the 40mm bore for 528 N; if you need more push, step up to the 63mm bore for 1402 N. The twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation stability and allows mounting a rear cam or sensor flag, which a single-rod SE cannot do.
Because the 900mm stroke is long, external guide rails are recommended to prevent side-loading damage to the rod seals. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it will not hold position on air loss. For fail-safe holding, use an external pilot-operated check valve or a BSED rod-lock cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 50mm bore, 900mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has equal piston area on both sides, output force is identical in both directions: 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 better load guidance and resist rotation better than a single rod. It also allows you to mount tooling, cams, or sensor flags on the rear rod end, which is impossible on a standard single-rod cylinder.
