The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X250S 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 250mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED63X250S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 250mm stroke. A piston rod exits both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas. This means drive force is exactly equal in extend and retract, delivering 1402N each way at 0.5MPa and 1962N at 0.7MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods for a clean ISO 15552 footprint.
Equipped with a standard magnet (-S), this unit directly accepts CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors in the integrated groove. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the load near stroke end. The twin-rod architecture provides superior anti-rotation guidance and allows mounting a rear cam or secondary mechanism on the protruding back rod end.

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 1962N equal both-way force to tension and steer packaging film webs without rotational deflection.
Drives a synchronized entry gate on a packaging line using both rod ends to move opposing linkages simultaneously.
Pushes machined aluminum castings between stations, relying on the twin rods to prevent binding under offset loads.
Selecting this 63mm bore provides 1962N of equal both-way force at 0.7MPa. If your payload requires less thrust, the adjacent 50mm bore yields 1154N at 0.5MPa; if scaling up, the 80mm bore provides 2268N at 0.5MPa. Because the 250mm stroke is 250mm or greater, incorporate an external guide rail to prevent side-load bending on the twin Ø20mm rods. Unlike a single-rod SE cylinder, this SED design inherently resists rotational torque. Remember that a plain SED drifts on air loss, as the adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock position. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED double-rod lock cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 unit, match the 250mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design has identical annulus areas on both sides, force is equal in both directions: 1402N at 0.5MPa, 1962N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 286kgf at 1.0MPa.
The twin rods exiting both ends provide superior anti-rotation guidance and allow you to mount a rear cam or sensor flag. It also provides identical extend and retract forces, making it ideal for symmetrical web-guiding or dual-motion tasks.
