Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID100X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID100X1000S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 1000mm stroke and a spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock that holds the rod at ANY position along its travel — with a static holding force of 5500 N.

About the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID100X1000S
The AirTAC BSAID100X1000-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a double-rod configuration and a spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It secures the load at any position along its 1000mm stroke, delivering a static holding force of 5500 N. Because it is a double-rod actuator, the thrust is equal in both directions at 3681 N (0.5 MPa), and the extending rod through the rear cover allows mounting a counterweight, position flag, or secondary tool on the opposite end for dual-side guidance.
A critical design distinction is that the holding force (5500 N) is completely separate from the cylinder's thrust (3681 N); you must size the clamp's holding capacity against your static load, not the push thrust. The clamp operates via a dedicated G1/8 enclasp port and locks bidirectionally only after the piston has stopped, meaning it cannot brake a moving rod. Furthermore, the variable air cushions at stroke ends only decelerate the piston to prevent end-cap impact; they do not hold the load. The integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.

How the Clamp-Lock Holds
static holding force (Ø100 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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 5498 N | — |
Equal force both directions (double rod). Rated to the 0.7 MPa operating maximum for this series. The clamp holding force (5500 N) is separate from cylinder thrust. Size with a margin.
Where the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID100X1000S Is Used
Vertical Lift Holding
Secures a heavy vertical platform at any height along the 1000mm travel, preventing gravity-driven drops during an air pressure loss event.
Machining Position Lock
Holds a dual-sided workpiece carrier perfectly stationary mid-stroke for a machining or inspection process, using the opposite rod end for a position flag.
Long-Stroke Assembly Press
Maintains a locked clamping force on an extended 1000mm armature while fastening operations occur, ensuring the dual-side guided tool does not drift.
Is the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID100X1000S the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 100mm bore model when an application demands mid-stroke holding on a long 1000mm travel axis, stepping up from a BSAID80X1000 which offers 2268 N thrust and 3600 N holding force. A plain SAID100X1000-S suffices if you only need equal force both ways without intermediate locking, while a SAIL100X1000 is inadequate if the load must be held anywhere other than the stroke end. For replacement, verify the double-rod layout, 1000mm stroke, PT port threads, 1/2 inch cylinder ports, and the -S magnet option.
When integrating this cylinder, note that the BSAID mounting set omits FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets, accepting only Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the stroke is 1000mm, the M20x1.5 rod provides substantial side-load capacity, but an external guide rail is essential to prevent binding. Safety dictates that the clamp unlocks only when air pressures are balanced; otherwise, the rod may jump abruptly, requiring an independent safety measure for human-safety 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 BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID100X1000S FAQ
The spring-applied clamp-lock provides a static holding force of 5500 N. It locks the piston rod at any position along the stroke, but only after the cylinder has stopped moving.
The clamp 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. For safety-critical loads, an independent external safety measure is required.
