Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X1000
The AirTAC Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X1000 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø80mm 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 3600 N.

About the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X1000
The AirTAC BSAID80X1000 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rod out both ends and a spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock mechanism. It delivers equal thrust in both directions, generating 2268 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated enclasp gripper clamps the rod to hold a load securely at any position along the 1000 mm stroke, providing a static holding force of 3600 N. Remember that this holding force is a distinct quantity from the cylinder thrust; you must size the clamp capacity against the static load, not the push or pull force.
Because the base cylinder is an extruded aluminum profile, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting interfaces. The clamp mechanism uses a third G1/8 enclasp port and requires a balanced 0.15-0.7 MPa air pressure to unlock safely. The double-rod design allows you to mount a workpiece on one end and a guide, counterweight, or position flag on the other for dual-side anti-rotation. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not hold the load.

How the Clamp-Lock Holds
static holding force (Ø80 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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 3519 N | — |
Equal force both directions (double rod). Rated to the 0.7 MPa operating maximum for this series. The clamp holding force (3600 N) is separate from cylinder thrust. Size with a margin.
Where the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X1000 Is Used
Vertical Z-Axis Positioning
Holds a vertical lift payload securely at any point along the 1000 mm travel, preventing sudden drops when air pressure is removed.
Power Loss Emergency Hold
The spring-applied clamp engages automatically on air loss, freezing the double-ended rod in place mid-stroke for machine safety.
Machining & Inspection Station
Locks the workpiece carriage firmly during processing while using the opposing rod end for a position feedback flag.
Is the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X1000 the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this double-rod model when you need equal force both ways and dual-side guidance. If you do not need the second rod, the single-rod BSAI80X1000 offers a higher push thrust of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa while retaining the same 3600 N holding force. If your application only requires holding at the stroke end rather than anywhere in travel, a SAIL80 cylinder suffices. The clamp locks only after the rod has stopped; it cannot brake a moving load. Safety-critical applications require an additional independent safety measure, and the cylinder must be unlocked with balanced pressures to prevent the rod from jumping abruptly.
This BSAID80X1000 has a 1000 mm stroke, which is the maximum standard stroke for this bore. At this length, the 25 mm carbon steel rod and M20x1.5 thread provide robust side-load capacity, but an external guide is still recommended for unsupported spans. It uses PT tapered ports, a 3/8 cylinder port, and accepts Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, or TCM2 mountings (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). A magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors is not specified for this configuration.
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 BSAID80X1000 FAQ
The clamp-lock provides a static holding force of 3600 N. It is spring-applied and air-released, meaning it engages automatically to hold the rod at any position when air is removed, and unlocks via a third G1/8 port.
No, the clamp locks only after the cylinder has stopped and cannot brake a moving rod. Additionally, it must be unlocked with balanced air pressures on both sides of the piston to prevent the rod from jumping abruptly.
