The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED63X950S 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 950mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED63X950S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to ISO 15552 dimensional standards. A 20mm rod exits both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas. This means you get exactly 1402 N of output force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods.
Equipped with a magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for end-of-stroke detection. The PT3/8 port and M16x1.5 rod threads match standard 63mm bore hardware. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near the stroke limits.

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).
Drives a 1402 N tracking frame to keep film or foil webs aligned. The rear rod simultaneously pushes a cam to tension the idler roll.
Shifts heavy pallets using equal 1962 N force both ways. The twin rods prevent the load from twisting during the 950mm traverse.
Actuates a 950mm forming die where the rear rod links to a DMSE electronic sensor flag to confirm retraction before feeding stock.
Selecting this 63mm bore yields 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 50mm bore drops force to 825 N, while moving up to an 80mm bore increases it to 2268 N. The twin-rod design provides superior anti-rotation resistance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guiding heavy loads over its 950mm stroke.
Because the stroke is 950mm, external linear guides are strongly recommended to prevent side-load binding on the long 20mm rods. Note that a plain SED does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe locking, consider a BSED double-rod rod lock. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 950mm stroke, PT3/8 port, mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2), and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
Because the rod occupies 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 twin rods provide better load guidance and resist rotation. The protruding rear rod can also drive a secondary mechanism or mount a sensor flag, which is useful over long 950mm strokes.
