Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X160S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X160S 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, 160mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X160S
The AirTAC BSE100X160S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force, clamping the Ø25 mm rod via collet to prevent drift when air is exhausted or an E-stop trips. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This 100 mm bore model provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull drive force at 0.5 MPa. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port and requires >=0.5 s to fully release after pressures balance. The -S magnet option enables position sensing with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X160S 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.

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 BSE100X160S Is Used
Vertical Lift Hold
Secures 550 kg elevated platform masses instantly upon air loss, preventing gravity-driven crashes in automated machining centers.
Tool Clamp Lock
Maintains 5500 N clamping force on heavy machining fixtures during main air supply drops, keeping workpieces firmly anchored.
Pallet Stop Gate
Holds a mid-stroke pallet stop gate rigid against 5000 N of conveyor impact momentum during emergency power or air cutoffs.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X160S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load stays below the 5500 N static holding capacity. If you need less force, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N hold. If scaling up, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N hold. Always engage the collet lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it solely when piston pressures are balanced.
For direct replacement, match the 160 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and your required SE-compatible mounting (FTC excluded). The integrated -S magnet supports DMSE electronic sensors for precise mid-stroke positioning. The 36 mm adjustable air cushions manage end-of-stroke impact but do not serve as the holding mechanism.
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 BSE100X160S FAQ
The drive force is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 5497 N push (561 kgf) at 0.7 MPa. The integrated rod lock provides a separate 5500 N bidirectional static holding force when engaged.
The spring-applied collet clamp engages automatically, delivering 5500 N of fail-safe holding force. To release it safely, balance pressures on both sides of the piston, apply air to the G1/8 release port, and wait >=0.5 s before moving.
