Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600S 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 BSE100X600S
The AirTAC BSE100X600S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 25 mm rod and an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the rod for a bidirectional fail-safe hold of 5500 N with zero live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock uses a separate G1/8 release port.
Because it uses the SE body, all SE mounting accessories fit this model except FTC. The -S magnet option supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for position feedback. The 600 mm stroke relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb kinetic energy, but the collet lock provides the actual static holding force.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600S 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 BSE100X600S Is Used
Vertical Lift Hold
Secures a 500 kg vertical press ram in place during an E-stop, using the 5500 N collet lock to prevent uncommanded drops when air is exhausted.
Overhead Tool Clamp
Maintains a heavy machining fixture position with no live air, ensuring the 5497 N drive force can position the tool while the lock safely secures it between cycles.
Pallet Stop Gate
Holds a 400 kg assembly pallet rigidly at a workstation, engaging the spring-applied collet only after the conveyor stops to prevent any drift.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X600S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load stays below the 5500 N static holding force. If you need less holding capacity, the 80 mm bore offers a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. For heavier loads, the 125 mm bore provides a 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold.
At 600 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-load damage to the seals. Engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. Replacement requires matching the 100 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and 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 BSE100X600S 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). The separate static holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 5500 N.
The lock is spring-applied and fail-safe, meaning a loss of air pressure causes the collet to clamp the rod instantly, engaging the 5500 N bidirectional hold. To release it, apply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port only after balancing piston pressures, waiting at least 0.5 s before motion.
