Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID63X200
The AirTAC Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID63X200 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø63mm bore, 200mm 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 2200 N.

About the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID63X200
The AirTAC BSAID63X200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a double-rod design and a built-in spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It provides a static holding force of 2200 N and locks the carbon steel rod at any position along its 200 mm stroke. Because it is a double-rod unit, the thrust is equal in both directions at 1402 N (0.5 MPa), and the second rod allows you to mount a counterweight, position flag, or secondary tool on the opposite end for dual-side guidance.
A critical distinction is that the 2200 N holding force is entirely separate from the 1402 N thrust—you must size the clamp holding force against the static load, not the cylinder push force. The clamp is not a moving-rod brake; it only locks after the piston has stopped. Furthermore, the variable air cushion at stroke ends only decelerates the piston and does not hold the load. The lock releases only when air pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced via the G1/8 enclasp port, preventing abrupt rod movement.

How the Clamp-Lock Holds
static holding force (Ø63 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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 2182 N | — |
Equal force both directions (double rod). Rated to the 0.7 MPa operating maximum for this series. The clamp holding force (2200 N) is separate from cylinder thrust. Size with a margin.
Where the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID63X200 Is Used
Vertical Axis Hold
Locks a 63 mm double-rod payload at any height on a vertical lift, preventing sudden drops during power loss.
Machining Position Lock
Freezes the rod mid-stroke to secure a workpiece or fixture for intermediate machining and inspection steps.
Dual-Side Tooling
Uses the second rod end to mount a counterweight or guide while the clamp holds the primary tool safely in place.
Is the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID63X200 the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 63 mm bore double-rod model when you need 1402 N of thrust both ways and 2200 N of static holding power mid-stroke. If your load is lighter, the 50 mm bore offers 825 N thrust and 1400 N holding force; if heavier, step up to the 80 mm bore for 2268 N thrust and 3600 N holding force. Select BSAID over a stroke-end-only SAIL when you must grip the rod anywhere in the travel, and use a plain SAID if no mid-stroke clamping is required.
This BSAID63X200 uses PT tapered ports (3/8 cylinder, G1/8 enclasp) and accepts Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 mountings (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). For safety, always ensure balanced pressures before unlocking, and add an independent safety measure for human-safety-critical loads. Sensors are not included, but an -S magnet version supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state switches.
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 BSAID63X200 FAQ
It is a spring-applied, air-released mechanism that grips the rod at any position with a 2200 N static holding force. It locks only after the cylinder stops and unlocks when balanced air pressure is applied via the G1/8 port.
The double-rod design provides equal thrust (1402 N) in both directions and allows you to mount a secondary tool, position flag, or guide on the opposite end for anti-rotation or dual-side work.
