Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X160S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder: a Ø25mm piston rod exits BOTH ends of the Ø80mm bore, giving equal force and speed in both directions and letting you mount tooling or a sensor flag on the back rod. Stroke 160mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.

About the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X160S
The AirTAC SED80X160S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A 25 mm rod exits both end covers, yielding identical annulus areas so you generate 2268 N of thrust in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods, and the -S magnet enables position sensing via DMSE electronic or CMSE reed switches.
Equipped with field-adjustable air cushioning at both ends, this 80 mm bore unit safely decelerates 30-800 mm/s velocities across its 160 mm stroke. The twin-rod architecture provides superior load guidance against torsion and allows mounting a rear cam or secondary actuator, though you must leave rear-rod clearance.
Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X160S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X160S |
|---|---|
| Series | SED ISO 15552 double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Configuration | Double rod, double acting |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| 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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 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 SED80X160S Is Used
CNC Lathe Bar Feeder
Drives pusher carriages with 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, using the rear rod to mount a travel-limit cam while feeding raw stock.
Web Guiding Mechanism
Exploits equal both-way force and twin-rod torsional rigidity to steer heavy paper webs without rotational deflection.
Mold Alignment Press
Synchronizes upper and lower mold halves using the 3175 N available at 0.7 MPa, leveraging the through-rod for concentric alignment.
Is the Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 80 mm bore if your mechanism needs roughly 2268 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N; if you need more push, the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N. Select the double-rod SED over a single-rod SE when your application requires equal bidirectional force, anti-rotation stability, or a rear-rod flag for dual-side sensing.
For ISO 15552 replacements, match the 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and your preferred mounting from Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 (FB, CA, CB, and CR are omitted). Since the SED lacks a fail-safe brake, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; specify a BSED rod-lock variant if the load must hold position during an outage.
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 SED80X160S FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, the effective piston area is identical in both directions. The force is 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and reaches a maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design provides equal extend and retract forces, better resistance to load rotation, and a rear rod end for mounting secondary tooling or sensors. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, but requires rear-rod clearance and uses Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounts.
