Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160S
The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160S 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 SED63X160S
The AirTAC SED63X160S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder adhering to the ISO 15552 interface. A 20mm rod exits both end covers, yielding an identical annulus area on each side. Consequently, output force is perfectly symmetrical, generating 1402 N in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends manage kinetic energy. The rear rod extension can drive a secondary mechanism or mount a physical limit flag.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160S |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Configuration | Double rod, double acting |
| 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 |
| Max stroke | Up to 1500 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 SED63X160S Is Used
Transverse Pusher
Drives a 1402 N transfer cart on a packaging conveyor, using the rear rod to trip a mechanical flag at stroke end.
Servo-Press Ejector
Ejects molded parts symmetrically from a press die, leveraging equal extend and retract forces to prevent tool binding.
Web Guiding Bracket
Tensions a moving web in a slitter rewinder, utilizing the twin rods for high torsional resistance against roll eccentricity.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X160S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore yields 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 50mm bore provides 825 N both ways; if you need more, the 80mm bore offers 2268 N both ways. Choose this double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when the mechanism demands anti-rotation guidance, twin-side load carrying, or rear-rod tooling. To replace an existing ISO 15552 unit, match the 160mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Note that a plain SED does not hold position upon air loss; the piston drifts. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED double-rod rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve. At 160mm stroke, ensure external guides support the load if side loads are present.
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 SED63X160S FAQ
Because the double-rod design creates equal piston areas on both sides, 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 twin rods provide superior anti-rotation guidance and allow the rear rod to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor cam. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, but offers symmetrical dynamics that a single-rod SE cylinder cannot match.
