Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X200S 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, 200mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X200S
The AirTAC BSE100X200S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It supplies a robust 5500 N bidirectional static holding force, ensuring suspended loads remain exactly where they stopped even if air pressure is completely lost. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock mechanism uses a separate G1/8 release port rather than relying on the adjustable air cushions.
This 100 mm bore unit includes a magnetic piston (-S) for electronic position sensing and delivers 5497 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. The collet lock engages only after the piston rod comes to a complete stop, requiring a minimum of 0.5 seconds for full release before motion resumes. It uses an ISO 15552 extruded aluminum body, meaning standard SE mounting accessories fit perfectly, except for FTC variants.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X200S 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.

Where the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X200S Is Used
Heavy Machining Clamp
Secures large automotive castings during CNC milling. The 5500 N fail-safe collet lock prevents the 5497 N drive force from shifting the part if plant air drops suddenly.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty stop for 500 kg assembly line pallets. The spring-applied lock holds the load bidirectionally with zero live air, keeping the gate rigid during emergency stops.
Press Lift Hold
Maintains a vertical stamping ram mid-stroke. The collet engages only after the rod stops, locking the 100 mm bore position securely without relying on air pressure.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X200S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load requires less than the 5500 N static holding capacity and 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa. If you need less force, the 80 mm bore neighbor offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. For heavier demands, step up to the 125 mm bore, which provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N holding force. Always balance pressures on both sides of the piston before unlocking, and allow at least 0.5 seconds for the G1/8 release port to fully disengage the collet before initiating movement.
This 200 mm stroke configuration is standard and falls well below the 1000 mm maximum. For any application approaching or exceeding 300 mm strokes, incorporate external guide rails to prevent side-loading damage to the rod seals. When replacing a unit, match the 100 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and confirm the -S magnet option for CMSE or DMSE sensor compatibility.
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 BSE100X200S FAQ
The drive force is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 561 kgf drive). Separately, the integrated spring-applied rod lock provides a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air required.
The lock is spring-applied and fail-safe. If air is lost or exhausted, the collet immediately clamps the rod, holding it in both directions up to 5500 N. To release it safely, you must balance piston pressures and supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port, waiting at least 0.5 seconds before moving.
