Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X60S
The AirTAC SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X60S 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 60mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X60S
The AirTAC SED63X60S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensions. Because a 20mm rod exits both end covers, the annular piston area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal force of 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring clean integration and exact dimensional direct interchangeability with other ISO 15552 double-rod units.
This 60mm stroke variant includes the -S magnet option for position sensing. The internal grooves accept CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors to track both ends of travel. Field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the load near stroke end, while the protruding rear rod provides a robust mounting point for secondary tooling, limit flags, or anti-rotation guidance.

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 SED63X60S Is Used
Web Edge Guiding
Drives a guiding roller assembly on a film slitter. The twin rods prevent yaw during high-speed shifts, while the 1402 N both-way force holds the web track precisely against lateral drift.
Dual-Side Shuttle
Transfers small electronic trays between processing stations. The through-rod design allows a rear cam to trigger an external mechanical latch, with equal push and pull force maintaining smooth acceleration.
Part Ejection Station
Ejects machined aluminum fittings from a CNC lathe. The rear rod end mounts a physical limit flag to confirm retraction, ensuring the 286 kgf maximum capacity is ready before the spindle restarts.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X60S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63mm bore when an application demands exactly 1402 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your payload is lighter, step down to the 50mm bore providing 825 N both ways; if heavier, step up to the 80mm bore yielding 2268 N. The twin-rod architecture is preferred over a single-rod SE when you need to drive a secondary mechanism from the rear or require superior resistance to torsional load rotation. At a 60mm stroke, side-loading is minimal, but always ensure the load is guided externally to prevent binding. Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, specify a BSED double-rod lock cylinder or add an external pilot-operated check valve. When replacing an existing ISO 15552 unit, match the 63mm bore, 60mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
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 SED63X60S FAQ
Because the double-rod design subtracts the rod area from 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.
The SED63X60S provides identical extend and retract forces, which is critical for balanced shuttle motions. The protruding rear rod allows you to mount a sensor flag, drive a secondary cam, or guide a load against rotation, options impossible with a single-rod design.
