About the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X200S
The AirTAC BSAI32X200-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a built-in clamp-lock mechanism. It features a carbon steel single rod and a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. A spring-applied, air-released enclasp grips the rod to hold loads at any position along the 200mm stroke, providing a static holding force of 600 N. This holding capacity is entirely separate from the cylinder thrust, which delivers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; you must size the 600 N clamp force against your static load, not the thrust.
The clamp operates via a third G1/8 enclasp port, requiring 0.15-0.7 MPa to release. The lock engages only after the rod stops, meaning it cannot brake a moving piston. Unlocking requires balanced air pressure on both sides of the piston to prevent abrupt rod movement. Furthermore, the variable air cushion at the stroke ends only decelerates the piston; it is the mechanical clamp that secures the load.

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 BSAI32X200S Is Used
Vertical Axis Hold
Secures a vertically lifted workpiece at any point in the stroke, preventing a dropped load during a sudden air pressure loss.
Mid-Stroke Machining
Locks the rod firmly at a specific non-end position to provide a stable platform for machining or inspection tasks.
Emergency Stop Hold
Holds the mechanism safely in place when power is removed, engaging only after the cylinder motion has ceased.
Is the Airtac BSAI Locking Clamp Cylinder BSAI32X200S the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 32mm bore when a load must be held mid-stroke rather than just at the end, which is where a plain SAI or stroke-end SAIL cylinder falls short. If your application requires less holding force, there is no smaller bore in this series, but if you need more grip, stepping up to the 40mm bore increases the holding force to 900 N and thrust to 628 N. For replacement, match the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, PT port threads, and the single-rod configuration. It accepts Basic, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts. The M10x1.25 rod thread handles basic loads, but external guidance is recommended for side loads.
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 BSAI32X200S FAQ
The integrated clamp-lock provides a static holding force of 600 N. It can secure the load at any position along the 200mm stroke, but only after the cylinder has completely stopped moving.
The lock is released by supplying air to the G1/8 enclasp port. To prevent the rod from jumping abruptly, the air pressures on both sides of the piston must be balanced before unlocking.
