Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID32X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID32X1000S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø32mm 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 600 N.

About the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID32X1000S
The AirTAC BSAID32X1000-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a double-rod design and an integrated spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It secures the load at any position along its 1000mm travel with a static holding force of 600 N. Because it is a double-rod unit, the thrust is identical in both directions at 345 N (0.5 MPa). A key distinction is that this 600 N holding force is a separate metric from the 345 N thrust; you must size the clamp against the static load, not the cylinder's propulsion power.
The clamp engages only after the rod has stopped, meaning it cannot brake a moving load. Unlocking requires balanced air pressure on both piston sides via the dedicated G1/8 enclasp port, preventing abrupt rod jumps. The extruded aluminum barrel includes a variable air cushion to decelerate the piston near stroke ends, but this cushion does not hold the load—the clamp does. Fitted with a magnet, it supports CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors for position feedback.

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 | — |
Equal force both directions (double rod). 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 BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID32X1000S Is Used
Vertical Axis Mid-Stroke Hold
Secures a vertically lifted load at any point along the 1000mm travel, preventing descent during air pressure loss without relying on end-of-stroke stops.
Power Loss Emergency Hold
Spring-applied clamp immediately grips the 12mm rod when air is removed, locking the payload safely in place anywhere in the cycle.
Machining Position Lock
Clamps the double-rod assembly firmly during inspection or milling, ensuring the workpiece mounted to the rod stays completely rigid.
Is the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID32X1000S the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 32mm bore when an application requires holding a load mid-stroke rather than just at the end, which is where a plain SAI or SAID cylinder falls short. If 600 N of holding force is insufficient, stepping up to the 40mm bore increases the clamp hold to 900 N and the bidirectional thrust to 528 N. For replacement, match the double-rod configuration, 1000mm stroke, PT ported 1/8 cylinder ports, and the correct BSAID mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, TCM2). The -S magnet pairs with CMSE/DMSE switches.
Because this is a 1000mm stroke on a 32mm bore (exceeding the 700mm standard max for this size), it is a non-standard stroke. The 12mm carbon steel rod and M10x1.25 thread provide a baseline for load support, but an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent side-load binding over such a long unsupported distance. Always ensure the rod has stopped before locking, and add an independent safety measure for human-safety-critical holds.
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 BSAID32X1000S FAQ
It provides a static holding force of 600 N. This clamp locks the rod at any position along the stroke, but it only engages after the cylinder has stopped moving; it cannot brake a moving rod.
The clamp unlocks only when air pressure is balanced on both sides of the piston via the G1/8 enclasp port. If pressures are not equal, the rod can move abruptly upon release. For human-safety-critical applications, an independent external safety measure is required.
