Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160 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 160mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160
The AirTAC SED63X160 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding equal force and speed in both directions. You get 1402 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 1962 N at 0.7 MPa.
This unit uses a PT3/8 port, a 20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread, and 36 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. It lacks a standard magnet, meaning no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be fitted to this specific SKU. The twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation guidance and allows you to mount a cam or secondary tool to the rear rod end.

| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod thread | M16×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C (0–150 °C with FKM seals) |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 36 mm |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SED datasheet and ISO 15552 / VDMA 24562 dimensions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP).
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1962 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 286 kgf |
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.

Where the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160 Is Used
Web Guiding Mechanisms
Ideal for film or paper web alignment where the 1402 N both-way force and twin-rod anti-rotation keep the guiding roller perfectly parallel without torsional drift.
Shuttle Transfer Units
Drives parts back and forth between two machining stations. The equal extend and retract speeds ensure consistent cycle times, while the rear rod can mount a secondary cam.
Multi-Axis Milling Traverses
Provides stable linear translation for light milling heads. The 36 mm adjustable cushions absorb end-of-stroke impact, protecting the spindle during rapid 30-800 mm/s traverses.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this double-rod cylinder means prioritizing equal bidirectional force and torsional stability over a single-rod SE. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore delivers 825 N at 0.5 MPa both ways. If your application requires more power, step up to the 80 mm bore, which provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. The 63 mm bore hits a strong middle ground with 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa and a maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This SKU has no -S magnet option, so if your sequence requires mid-stroke or end-of-stroke electronic feedback, you must select a different variant. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the load near stroke end; they do not hold position. If you need fail-safe load holding on air loss, you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or switch to a BSED double-rod lock cylinder. Ensure your mounting choice falls within the SED subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force/speed both directions needed?
- ✓ Back-rod space for tooling or a flag
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Support both rod ends; avoid side load.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB/FA/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160 FAQ
Because the SED63X160 is a double-rod cylinder, the effective piston area is identical on both sides. The output force is equal 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.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and VDMA 24562. It is an extruded aluminum profile cylinder with no external tie rods. Just ensure your mounting accessory is from the SED subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and leave rear-rod clearance.
