The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X900 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 900mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED63X900 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. Because a 20 mm rod exits both end covers, the effective piston area is identical in each direction. This means you get exactly 1402 N of output force at 0.5 MPa on both extend and retract strokes.
With a 900 mm stroke, this unit provides extended travel while maintaining an extruded aluminum barrel free of external tie rods. It features field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends to decelerate the load near stroke end. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSE or DMSE position sensors without modification.

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).
Provides 1402 N of equal both-way force at 0.5 MPa to tension and steer paper webs, using the rear rod to mount a mirror flag for edge tracking.
Drives a 900 mm stroke to push heavy pallets between parallel conveyors, relying on the twin rods to resist twisting from asymmetric crate weights.
Shifts a drilling fixture 900 mm across an automotive machining line, benefiting from the anti-rotation properties of the dual-rod layout for precise spindle alignment.
Stepping up or down in bore size changes your force profile significantly. If 1402 N at 0.5 MPa is too much, the next size down is the 50 mm bore providing 825 N both ways. If you need more push, the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N. At 900 mm of travel, the extended rod length makes the cylinder susceptible to side loads; always use external guide rails to prevent binding and premature seal wear.
Unlike a single-rod SE cylinder, the twin-rod design prevents the piston from rotating under offset loads and allows mounting a cam or secondary tool on the rear rod end. Remember that standard air cushions only decelerate the load; they do not hold position on air loss. For fail-safe holding, consider a BSED double-rod lock cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 unit, match the 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions because the rod occupies both sides of the piston. It delivers 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 offer superior resistance to rotation under offset loads and allow you to mount tooling or a sensor flag on the rear rod end. It also shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting footprint and PT3/8 port of the standard SE series.
