The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X170S 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 170mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED63X170S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a rod extends from both end covers, the annulus area is identical on both sides. This means you get exactly 1402 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods.
This specific configuration includes the -S magnet option, enabling position detection with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. The rear rod extension can simultaneously drive a secondary mechanism or mount a cam, while providing superior anti-rotation guidance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder.

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).
Uses the 1402 N both-way force to center and straighten delicate printed circuit boards on a conveyor without rotational drift.
Drives opposing label applicators simultaneously from a single piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized contact on both package sides.
Mounts a measurement flag on the rear rod to trigger DMSE electronic sensors for precise tool height calibration.
Select this 63mm bore if your application requires balanced 1402 N force both ways. If you need less power, step down to the 50mm bore providing 825 N; if you need more, step up to the 80mm bore delivering 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. The double-rod design is optimal for synchronizing two loads or preventing rotation without external guides.
To replace an existing ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 170mm 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; for fail-safe holding, consider a BSED rod-lock variant. At 170mm stroke, the 20mm rod handles standard side loads, but always support heavy lateral loads to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the 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 rods prevent load rotation better than a single-rod cylinder, allow you to mount a sensor flag or cam on the rear rod, and provide identical extend and retract speeds. Remember to leave rear-rod clearance in your machine design.
