Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X600S
The AirTAC Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X600S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø80mm bore, 600mm 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 BSAID80X600S
The AirTAC BSAID80X600-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a double-rod layout and a spring-applied, air-released clamp-lock. It secures the load at any position along its 600 mm travel with a static holding force of 3600 N. Because it is a double-rod unit, the thrust is equal in both directions, delivering 2268 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. You must size the holding force (3600 N) against your static load independently of the cylinder thrust, as these are two distinct quantities.
A third G1/8 enclasp port controls the unlock mechanism, separate from the 3/8 cylinder ports. The clamp locks only after the rod has stopped; it cannot brake a moving load. You must balance the air pressure on both sides of the piston before releasing the clamp, or the rod may jump abruptly. The carbon steel rods extend from both ends, allowing you to mount a workpiece on one side and a counterweight or position flag on the other for dual-side guidance.

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 BSAID80X600S Is Used
Vertical Axis Holding
Locks a heavy vertical lift at any intermediate height with 3600 N of holding force, preventing drops during power loss.
Machining Position Lock
Secures a dual-sided workpiece rigidly in place for machining or inspection, using the second rod for a position flag.
Emergency Stop Hold
Holds the load safely wherever the rod stops during an E-stop, provided the cylinder was already stationary.
Is the Airtac BSAID Clamp Cylinder BSAID80X600S the Right Clamp-Lock?
Choose this 80 mm bore when an application requires 2268 N of equal bidirectional thrust and 3600 N of static holding power mid-stroke. If you only need to hold a load at the stroke end, a plain SAIL cylinder is simpler; if no locking is needed, a standard SAID suffices. For lighter vertical axes, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N thrust and 2200 N holding force. This BSAID80X600-S includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. It uses PT ports and accepts Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts (omitting FB/CA/CB/CR). At 600 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod requires an external guide to prevent side-load wear.
Safety-critical loads require an independent backup measure. The clamp holds without live pressure but must be unlocked with balanced piston pressures. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not hold the load.
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 BSAID80X600S FAQ
The 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.
You must balance the air pressure on both sides of the piston before applying air to the G1/8 enclasp port. If pressures are unbalanced, the rod can jump abruptly upon release.
