Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X500S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X500S 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, 500mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X500S
The AirTAC BSE100X500S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø25 mm rod to deliver a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force. If air is lost or an E-stop trips, the rod stays locked in place at whatever position it stopped.
The drive cylinder runs at 0.15-0.7 MPa, while a separate G1/8 release port unlocks the clamp. The integrated lock is a fail-safe holding device, not a dynamic brake. You must engage it only after the rod stops and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s for full release before moving.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X500S 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 BSE100X500S Is Used
Press Tooling Hold
Secures heavy press stamping dies weighing up to 5500 N. The collet lock engages instantly on air loss, preventing the vertical tool from dropping unexpectedly during maintenance.
CNC Fixture Clamp
Holds heavy machined parts on a CNC mill. Delivers 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa for clamping, while the 5500 N lock keeps the fixture rigid if shop air drops.
Pallet Gate Stop
Acts as a fail-safe stop for an automated pallet conveyor gate. The rod locks instantly during an E-stop, holding the gate firmly in place even with zero live air.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X500S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load stays under the 5500 N holding force. If your load is lighter, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. If you need more force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. Always balance pressures before unlocking and wait >=0.5 s.
This 500 mm stroke configuration includes a -S magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. For a 500 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-load damage. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/2 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 BSE100X500S FAQ
The rod lock is spring-applied and fails safe. If air is lost, the collet clamps the rod and provides a 5500 N bidirectional static hold at its stopped position. It is not a dynamic brake and must only be engaged after the rod stops.
The drive force is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 561 kgf drive). The separate static holding force of the spring-applied lock is 5500 N.
