The AirTAC Airtac SED Double Rod Cylinder SED80X165 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 165mm, PT3/8 ports, adjustable cushioning.
The AirTAC SED80X165 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder built to the ISO 15552 dimensional interface. Because a 25 mm rod exits both end covers, the effective piston area is identical on extend and retract. This means you get equal force both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa.
The extruded aluminum barrel has no external tie rods and features integrated sensor grooves. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot host CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. Field-adjustable air cushions at both ends (36 mm stroke) decelerate the load near stroke end.

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 3175 N guiding platen for film web tracking, using the twin rods to prevent platen twist during high-speed shifts.
Synchronizes a multi-station stamping tool where the rear rod end mounts a mechanical cam to trigger an external cutoff.
Actuates a 165 mm transfer gate diverter, relying on equal both-way force to smoothly push and retract the diverter arm.
Choose this 80 mm bore if your mechanism needs 3175 N of thrust in both directions at 0.7 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 63 mm bore (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). For heavier drives, step up to the 100 mm bore (3681 N at 0.5 MPa). The twin rods provide superior anti-rotation resistance compared to a single-rod SE cylinder, making it ideal for guiding heavy platens.
This cylinder uses a PT3/8 port and M20x1.5 rod threads. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load; it does not hold position on air loss. For fail-safe holding, use a BSED double-rod lock cylinder or an external pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
Because the double-rod design subtracts rod area from both sides, force is equal in both directions: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Just match the 80 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting style. Ensure you leave rear-rod clearance, as the overall length is longer than a single-rod cylinder.
