About the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X1000S
The AirTAC BSAI32X1000-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 extruded aluminum profile cylinder with a built-in spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It secures the 12mm carbon steel piston rod at any position along its 1000mm travel, providing a static holding force of 600 N. Unlike standard thrust, which delivers 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the holding force is a separate mechanical grip metric—size it against your static load, not the cylinder's pneumatic thrust.
This bidirectional enclasp locks only after the rod has completely stopped; it cannot brake a moving load. Unlocking requires balanced air pressure on both sides of the piston via the dedicated G1/8 enclasp port, preventing abrupt rod jumps. Remember that the variable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends, while the clamp itself performs the actual load holding.

How the Clamp-Lock Holds
static holding force (Ø32 mm)
A spring-applied gripper clamps the rod and holds the load at any position in the stroke — not just at the stroke end (that is a SAIL) — and it is bidirectional: it holds whether the rod was extending or retracting.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 563 N | — |
Push/pull as tabulated. Rated to the 0.7 MPa operating maximum for this series. The clamp holding force (600 N) is separate from cylinder thrust. Size with a margin.
Where the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X1000S Is Used
Vertical Z-Axis Holding
Prevents gravity-driven drops on vertical actuators by clamping the rod securely at any intermediate height during power loss.
Machining Position Lock
Freezes the workpiece at a precise non-end position for stable milling or inspection without maintaining live pneumatic pressure.
Emergency Safety Hold
Engages instantly upon air loss to secure a stopped load mid-stroke, though human-safety applications require a secondary mechanical backup.
Is the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X1000S the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this non-standard 1000mm stroke model when you need extended travel with intermediate positioning. If your application requires less reach, the BSAI32X500 offers identical 600 N holding force and 402 N thrust in a shorter footprint. Step up to the BSAI40 bore if you need greater thrust (628 N push) and a higher 900 N holding capacity. Because the stroke exceeds 300mm, the long unsupported rod requires an external guide to prevent side-load damage.
Select this BSAI model over a SAIL cylinder when you must hold the load at any intermediate point, rather than only at stroke ends. It replaces single-rod, 32mm bore, 1000mm stroke cylinders with PT tapered ports. The -S magnet works with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. Mounting options include Basic, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2. For safety-critical stops, add an independent external measure, as the clamp is not a dynamic brake.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Hold needed at any position?
- ✓ Or stroke-end only → use SAIL
- ✓ Holding force ≥ your load
- ✓ Balanced-pressure unlock circuit
- ✓ Extra safety measure for people
Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X1000S FAQ
It provides a static holding force of 600 N. The clamp locks the rod at any position along the stroke, but it only engages after the cylinder has stopped moving and cannot brake a moving load.
The clamp unlocks only when air pressure is balanced on both sides of the piston via the G1/8 enclasp port. Releasing it with unbalanced pressure can cause the rod to jump abruptly. The variable air cushion does not hold the load; only the clamp does.
