About the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X100S
The AirTAC BSAID80X100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a double-rod configuration and an integrated spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It secures the load at any position along the 100mm stroke, delivering a robust static holding force of 3600 N. Because it is a double-rod design, the thrust is equal in both directions at 2268 N (based on 0.5 MPa), making it ideal for balanced push and pull operations.
It is crucial to distinguish this 3600 N holding force from the cylinder's 2268 N thrust—the clamp secures the static load independently of pneumatic pressure, whereas thrust dictates movement. The clamp engages only after the rod stops; it cannot brake a moving load. Furthermore, the lock releases via a dedicated G1/8 enclasp port, which requires balanced air pressure on both piston sides to prevent abrupt rod jumps upon release. The double-rod layout also allows mounting a workpiece on one end and a guide or counterweight on the opposite end for dual-side anti-rotation.

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 BSAID80X100S Is Used
Vertical Load Holding
Suspends heavy vertical loads at any intermediate stroke position without relying on continuous air pressure, utilizing the 3600 N clamp.
Power Loss Safety
Spring-applied enclasp mechanism instantly secures the double-rod during an unexpected pneumatic or electrical power failure.
Machining Position Lock
Holds a dual-side workpiece rigidly in place for precision drilling or inspection, using the second rod for an anti-rotation guide.
Is the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X100S the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 80mm bore model when an application demands equal force both ways and mid-stroke holding. If less force is needed, the 63mm bore offers 1402 N thrust and a 2200 N hold; for heavier loads, the 100mm bore provides 3681 N thrust and a 5500 N hold. Select this BSAID clamp-lock over a stroke-end-only SAIL model when you must secure a load anywhere in the travel, not just at the extremes. A plain SAID suffices if no intermediate holding is required.
This cylinder operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa with PT porting (3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 enclasp port). The 25mm carbon steel rod and M20x1.5 thread handle high side loads well. It accepts Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts (omitting FB/CA/CB/CR due to the double rod). The -S magnet pairs with CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors. For safety-critical holds, add an independent mechanical measure, as the clamp only engages after the rod stops and requires balanced pressure to unlock safely.
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 BSAID80X100S FAQ
The integrated clamp-lock provides a static holding force of 3600 N. It locks the rod at any position bidirectionally, but only after the cylinder has stopped moving; it is not a braking device for a moving rod.
The clamp is released by applying air to the G1/8 enclasp port. You must balance the air pressure on both sides of the piston before unlocking, otherwise the rod may jump abruptly. An independent safety measure is required for human-safety loads.
