The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X140S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder: a Ø20mm piston rod exits BOTH ends of the Ø63mm bore, giving equal force and speed in both directions and letting you mount tooling or a sensor flag on the back rod. Stroke 140mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED63X140S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a rod extends from both end covers, the annular piston area is identical on both sides, yielding exactly 1402 N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel eliminates external tie rods for a clean profile.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), this 63mm bore unit triggers CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors flush-mounted in the barrel groove. The rear rod extension is ideal for mounting a limit flag, driving a secondary mechanism, or providing anti-rotation guidance. It features field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends and a PT3/8 port.

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 vertical lift arm in a PCB handling line. The 1402N both-way force securely raises the panel, while the rear rod operates a cam for a pneumatic clamp.
Pushes workpieces transversely across a conveyor. The twin rods prevent the pusher plate from twisting under the 1402N thrust, ensuring square transfers.
Actuates a diverter gate on a packaging sorter. The equal extend and retract speeds keep the indexing rhythm consistent without needing flow controls.
Choose this 63mm bore if your application requires 1402 N at 0.5 MPa (or 1962 N at 0.7 MPa) with equal thrust both ways. If you need less force, step down to the 50mm bore (825 N at 0.5 MPa); if you need more, step up to the 80mm bore (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). The twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation resistance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guided loads.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 140mm stroke, 63mm bore, PT3/8 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or a BSED double-rod rod-lock cylinder. Since the stroke is under 300mm, side-load stress is minimal, but external guides are still recommended for heavy lateral loads.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has equal piston area on both sides, output force is identical in both directions: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The SED twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation stability and allows the rear rod to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag. It also ensures equal force and speed in both directions, which is critical for synchronized indexing tasks.
