The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X165S 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 165mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED63X165S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 dimensional interface. Because a Ø20 mm rod extends from both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract. This means you get exactly 1402 N of output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
This 63 mm bore unit includes the -S magnet option for position sensing with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. It uses a PT3/8 port, features adjustable air cushioning at both ends to manage end-of-stroke deceleration, and its extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods.

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 clamping jig on the front rod and a limit flag on the rear rod, utilizing the 1402 N both-way force to securely hold circuit boards during automated edge routing.
Powers a dual-sided gripper that picks parts from one conveyor and flips them 180 degrees, relying on the twin rods to prevent carriage rotation during the transfer.
Reciprocates a reed mechanism at high speeds, using the equal extend and retract forces to maintain consistent tension and weave density across the fabric.
Choose this 63 mm bore if your application requires matching extend and retract dynamics alongside anti-rotation guidance. Stepping down to the 50 mm bore yields 825 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. The twin-rod design inherently resists torsional loads better than a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guiding heavy carriages.
For ISO 15552 replacements, match the 165 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting choice (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 a BSED double-rod rod lock or an external pilot-operated check valve. Since the stroke is 165 mm, ensure external linear guides carry any heavy lateral loads to protect the rod seals.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design occupies piston area on both sides, force is equal in both directions. It provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design provides equal force and speed in both directions, better resistance to torsional side loads, and a rear rod end that can mount a sensor flag or drive a secondary mechanism. It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.
