Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X180
The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X180 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 180mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X180
The AirTAC SED63X180 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions. A 20mm rod extends from both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas and an equal drive force of 1402 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa. This through-rod geometry provides superior anti-rotation stability compared to a single-rod SE cylinder.
This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet (-S), meaning it is not ready for CMSE or DMSE position sensing out of the box. It utilizes a PT3/8 port, features adjustable air cushioning at both ends over a 36mm stroke length, and operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel ensures a rigid, tie-rod free exterior.

| 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 |

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 SED63X180 Is Used
PCB Lamination Press
Applies uniform 1402 N clamping force via the twin rods to press multilayer circuit boards, using the rear rod to simultaneously trigger a mechanical limit flag.
Pallet Divert Gate
Leverages the equal both-way force and anti-rotation properties to smoothly divert heavy pallets on a packaging line without rod deflection.
Textile Web Guiding
Drives a dual-edge fabric guide mechanism where the through-rod maintains precise parallel tracking across an 180mm stroke at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X180 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore provides a balanced 1402 N both-way force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, step down to the 50mm bore (825 N both ways); if you need more power, step up to the 80mm bore (2268 N both ways). The twin-rod design is ideal for driving dual loads or mounting a rear cam, but remember a plain SED does not hold position on air loss—the piston drifts. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED rod-lock cylinder.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63mm bore, 180mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Because the 180mm stroke is below the 300mm threshold, side-load stress is moderate, but you should still ensure the front and rear rod end threads (M16x1.5) are aligned with your external guides to prevent binding.
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 SED63X180 FAQ
Because the double-rod design occupies area on both sides of the piston, 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.
Yes. The SED63X180 is a profile cylinder dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in for other ISO 15552 double-rod units, but ensure you have rear-rod clearance since a rod protrudes from both covers.
