Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X175S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X175S 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X175S
The AirTAC BSE100X175S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a bidirectional static holding force of 5500 N with no live air required, ensuring suspended loads remain safely fixed during pressure loss or E-stop events. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock utilizes a dedicated G1/8 release port.
This 100mm bore unit includes a -S magnet for position sensing and relies on a mechanical collet mechanism, not the adjustable air cushions, to secure the rod. The lock is strictly a holding device, not a dynamic brake, and must only engage after the piston has completely stopped. The extruded aluminum barrel design accepts SE-compatible mounting accessories, except for FTC.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X175S 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 BSE100X175S Is Used
Vertical Palletizer
Secures lifted pallets mid-stroke with 5500 N of fail-safe holding force, preventing sudden drops if compressed air is lost during a cycle.
Injection Mold Tooling
Holds heavy mold halves stationary at 5497 N drive force and locks them safely in place during air exhaustion or machine E-stop activation.
Pallet Stop Gate
Maintains a rigid physical stop for 100mm bore conveyor lanes, keeping the collet locked firmly on the rod during emergency power or air cuts.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X175S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load requires a holding force of 5500 N or less. If your application needs less holding capacity, the 80mm bore model offers 3518 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. For heavier demands, the 125mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. Always balance pressures on both sides of the piston before releasing the lock, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for full release prior to motion. When replacing, match the 100mm bore, 175mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and -S magnet option.
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 BSE100X175S FAQ
The drive forces are 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 561 kgf). The separate static holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 5500 N.
The lock is spring-applied and fails safe, instantly clamping the rod with 5500 N in both directions if air is lost. To release it safely, balance piston pressures, supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before moving.
