Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X260S
The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X260S 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 260mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X260S
The AirTAC SED63X260S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions. A 20mm rod exits both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas so thrust is perfectly symmetrical. You get 1402 N of drive force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, rising to 1962 N at 0.7 MPa.
Equipped with a magnet (-S), this unit interfaces directly with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors mounted in the barrel grooves. The extruded aluminum body omits tie rods, and field-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the load near stroke end without acting as a lock.

|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 260 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 SED63X260S Is Used
Web Guiding Mechanisms
Provides 1402 N of equal both-way force at 0.5 MPa to drive opposing guide rollers, using the twin rods to prevent rotational binding on the web material.
Dual-Side Machining Heads
Drives a front machining spindle while the rear rod simultaneously operates a secondary cam or clamp, delivering 1962 N of symmetrical thrust at 0.7 MPa.
Indexing Pusher Assembly
Moves parts across a conveyor using both rod ends to cycle an external flag for DMSE electronic sensors, ensuring precise 260mm stroke indexing.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X260S the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 50mm bore drops the both-way force to 825 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the 80mm bore raises it to 2268 N. Choose this 63mm bore when your mechanism needs around 1.4 kN of push and pull force simultaneously. The twin-rod layout is ideal for driving a cam or secondary mechanism from the rear rod while resisting rotational twist.
For direct replacement, match the 63mm bore, 260mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Since the stroke is 260mm, add external guide rails to prevent side-load deflection on the extended rod. A plain SED will drift on air loss; use a BSED rod-lock variant for fail-safe holding.
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 SED63X260S FAQ
Because a rod extends from both ends, the effective piston area is identical in both directions. It delivers 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa in both extend and retract strokes.
The twin-rod design provides equal force both ways, better resistance to rotational twist, and a rear rod end that can drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag. It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod profile cylinders.
