Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK. If air is cut or an E-stop is hit, the collet clamps the Ø25mm rod and holds up to 5500 N in either direction — no drift. Ø100mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100
The AirTAC BSE100X100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a robust 5500 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air required, ensuring fail-safe load retention during pressure loss or E-stop events. The operating and unlocking pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This 100 mm bore unit uses a separate G1/8 release port to overcome the collet clamp, which must only be engaged after the rod has fully stopped. Because it shares the standard SE body, all SE mounting accessories fit this cylinder perfectly, except for the FTC variant. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support position sensing without a different option code.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100 holds its position in both directions when air is lost, exhausted or an E-stop trips. Apply 0.15–0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port to unlock. Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped (it is not a dynamic brake), and release only when the pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced. Allow at least 0.5 s for full release before moving.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC BSE datasheet. The lock uses the SE standard body; SE mounting accessories fit BSE except FTC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 5498 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 561 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 5500 N static holding force of the lock. BSE operates up to 0.7 MPa. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100 Is Used
Vertical Pallet Lifters
Holds a 5500 N elevated pallet load in place instantly if compressed air is lost, preventing dangerous free-fall drops on packaging lines.
Heavy Press Staging
Locks the 25 mm rod securely mid-stroke during stamping press tool changes, ensuring the slide does not drift while operators work safely underneath.
Pallet Stop Gates
Provides a fail-safe physical stop for 100 mm stroke diverter gates, maintaining a rigid 5500 N barrier even during full plant E-stop power cuts.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load is safely under the 5500 N static holding force. If you need less holding capacity, the 80 mm bore neighbor offers 3518 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. For heavier demands, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. The drive force on this 100 mm bore reaches 5497 N at 0.7 MPa.
Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds before moving. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and mounting style. Since this stroke is under 300 mm, standard side-load risks are minimized, but external guides are still recommended for heavy lateral loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 5500 N?
- ✓ Fail-safe hold on air loss / E-stop needed
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not as a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Add safety-rated controls for man-rated / overhead loads.
- check Use SE mounting accessories (FTC excepted).
Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100 FAQ
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 5500 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. The drive figures are 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum 561 kgf drive force at 0.7 MPa.
You must supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port only after balancing pressures on both sides of the piston. Wait at least 0.5 seconds for full release before commanding motion, as the lock is not a dynamic brake.
