Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100S 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 BSE100X100S
The AirTAC BSE100X100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 25 mm piston rod automatically if air pressure drops, delivering a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force. The cylinder body uses an extruded aluminum barrel with no external tie rods, and operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This fail-safe lock engages only after the rod stops and requires balanced piston pressure to release. You unlock the collet via a separate G1/8 port, allowing at least 0.5 s before resuming motion. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for exact position feedback.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100S 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 BSE100X100S Is Used
Injection Mold Platens
Holds a heavy mold platen mid-stroke during maintenance. The 5500 N collet lock prevents descent if shop air is disconnected, while the 5497 N drive force handles the heavy press cycle.
Pallet Diverters
Secures a heavy pallet stop arm in the extended position during E-stops. The fail-safe collet holds the 25 mm rod firmly without live air, preventing heavy pallets from rolling.
Vertical Lift Gates
Keeps an industrial lift gate raised against gravity. The spring-applied lock delivers 5500 N of static holding force instantly upon air loss, ensuring the gate stays put safely.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X100S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load needs 5500 N or less of holding force. If you need less drive and hold, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. If your load exceeds this unit, step up to the 125 mm bore for 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N holding force.
Always engage the lock only after the 100 mm stroke fully stops, and release it only when pressures balance. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and -S magnet. SE mounting accessories fit this body except FTC.
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 BSE100X100S FAQ
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod for a 5500 N static hold if air drops. Drive forces are 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, max 561 kgf drive.
Balance pressures on both sides of the piston first. Then supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port. Wait at least 0.5 s for the collet to fully retract before moving the cylinder.
