Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600
The AirTAC BSE100X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø25 mm piston rod to deliver a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force with zero live air required. This fail-safe mechanism prevents vertical loads from drifting if air pressure drops or an E-stop is triggered. The cylinder operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa and runs at 30-800 mm/s.
The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, meaning the standard adjustable air cushions at both ends are not responsible for holding the load. Because it uses the standard SE body, all SE mounting accessories fit this model except FTC. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors without a different option code.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600 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 BSE100X600 Is Used
Vertical Palletizer Arm
Holds a 550 kg lifted load mid-stroke securely. The collet locks instantly if shop air fails, preventing the arm from dropping during an E-stop event.
Injection Mold Press
Clamps a heavy mold half with 5497 N drive force at 0.7 MPa. The 5500 N fail-safe lock maintains the mold position securely when air is exhausted for tool changes.
Heavy Pallet Stop Gate
Halts 1000 kg pallets on a 600 mm stroke. The spring-applied collet holds the gate rigid in both directions, keeping it fixed even during complete plant air loss.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires less than the 5500 N static holding force. If you need less drive force, step down to the 80 mm bore, which provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. If you need more holding power, step up to the 125 mm bore, offering 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. The 100 mm bore itself yields 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
For this 600 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side loads from damaging the piston rod and seals. Engage the lock only after the rod has fully stopped, and release it only when pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. The cylinder features a PT1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36 mm cushions.
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 BSE100X600 FAQ
The lock is spring-applied and air-released. If air is lost, a collet clamps the rod, providing a 5500 N bidirectional static hold. It is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops.
Drive forces are 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 561 kgf drive). The separate static holding force of the lock is 5500 N.
