About the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X200
The AirTAC BSAI32X200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a built-in spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It provides a static holding force of 600 N and can secure the load at any position along its 200 mm stroke. The base extruded-aluminum cylinder delivers 563 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, but buyers must distinguish this dynamic thrust from the clamp's 600 N holding capacity—size the clamp against the static load, not the cylinder's push force.
This bidirectional enclasp locks the carbon steel rod only after the cylinder has stopped, meaning it cannot brake a moving load. It requires a third G1/8 unlock port and balanced air pressure on both piston sides to release safely, preventing abrupt rod jump. The variable air cushion at the ends merely decelerates the piston near stroke end; the clamp is the true holding device.

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 BSAI32X200 Is Used
Vertical Axis Hold
Secures a 32 mm bore vertical lift at any intermediate height during a process cycle, preventing descent upon air loss.
Power Loss Safety
Spring-applied enclasp immediately grips the rod anywhere in the travel if pneumatic pressure drops unexpectedly.
Machining Position Lock
Holds a workpiece firmly in a non-end-of-stroke position for drilling or inspection without relying on live air.
Is the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X200 the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 32 mm bore model for lighter loads requiring 600 N of static holding power mid-stroke. If your application needs more force, stepping up to the BSAI40 bore yields 879 N thrust at 0.7 MPa and 900 N of holding force. Select this BSAI over a SAIL cylinder when you need to enclasp the rod anywhere along the travel, rather than just holding at the stroke end. If no lock is needed, a plain SAI suffices.
This model uses PT tapered ports (1/8 cylinder port plus the G1/8 enclasp port) and accepts Basic, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts. It operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa and runs at 30-800 mm/s. Because it lacks a standard magnet (-S), it cannot use CMSE or DMSE sensors. Remember that safety-critical loads require an additional independent measure, as the clamp locks only after the rod stops.
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 BSAI32X200 FAQ
The BSAI32X200 provides a static holding force of 600 N. It locks at any position along the stroke, but only after the rod has stopped moving.
The clamp is released via a separate G1/8 enclasp port, but only when the air pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced. Otherwise, the rod can move abruptly upon release.
