About the AirTAC BSC125
The AirTAC BSC125 is a double-acting rod-lock tie-rod cylinder with a 125 mm bore and a 32 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 6136 N and pulls 5734 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 8590 N push and 8027 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All BSC125 versions share 1/2" air ports, an M27×2 rod thread and 28 mm adjustable air cushions. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 500 mm/s. This page lists 44 stock order codes with strokes from 25 to 1000 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 1000 mm.
The BSC125 is the SC tie-rod cylinder with a compact clamping unit built in. Springs apply clamp plates to the piston rod and air releases them, so the rod can be locked at any point of the stroke, in either direction and whether it is extended or retracted. Static holding force at this bore is 8600 N. The clamp has its own G1/8 port and releases at 0.15 to 0.7 MPa; it can also be released by hand. The holding force is a static rating: stop the rod first, then clamp it.

Theoretical output force (Ø125 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 6136 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | 8027 N |
Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø32 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the BSC125 Is Used
High-force actuation
Over 6.1 kN at 0.5 MPa for presses, lifting tables and dampers.
Intermediate stops
Clamp the rod at any point of the stroke and hold it there while the machine works.
Holding when air is lost
The spring-applied clamp keeps the rod in place when the release port is exhausted.
Choosing the Right BSC125 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Every code on this page is the basic version without a mounting code: the cylinder is fixed through its own mounting holes.
The clamping unit is the same on every code of this page (8600 N static holding force). Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC BSC125 FAQ
The catalog static holding force for Ø125 mm is 8600 N. It is a static rating, so stop the rod before the clamp engages; the lock holds in both directions at any stroke position.
Supply 0.15 to 0.7 MPa to the clamp's G1/8 port; with the port exhausted the springs keep the rod clamped. A manual release is also provided.
No. Every BSC125 gives about 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
1/2" ports, PT thread as standard.
Every code on this page is the basic version without a mounting code; the cylinder is fixed through its own mounting holes.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 0.7 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single BSC125. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
