Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80 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, 80mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80
The AirTAC BSE100X80 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 25 mm rod to deliver a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This fail-safe lock engages automatically if air is lost or an E-stop trips. It is a static hold, not a dynamic brake. You must engage the lock only after the rod stops and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, entirely distinct from the adjustable air cushions.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80 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 BSE100X80 Is Used
Injection Mold Tooling Clamp
Holds heavy mold halves securely mid-stroke. The 5500 N static lock prevents tool drop if factory air exhausts, while the 5497 N drive force handles the heavy mold mass.
Pallet Transfer Stopper
Acts as a rigid stop for heavy pallets on a packaging line. The collet lock maintains a 5500 N hold against pallet impact forces during E-stops, keeping the lane isolated.
Automotive Lift Gate Hold
Secures a suspended assembly fixture at 80 mm stroke. The spring-applied lock holds the 500 kg fixture safely in place when air pressure is removed for maintenance access.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load stays under the 5500 N holding force. If you need less clamping, step down to the 80 mm bore (push 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, hold 3600 N). If you need more drive or hold, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N holding force. This 100 mm bore provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it lacks position sensing. When replacing, match the 80 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and mounting style. SE mounting accessories fit this body except FTC. Keep side loads minimized with proper guide rails.
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 BSE100X80 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 static holding force of the rod lock is 5500 N. The lock holds the load with no live air, while the drive force moves the load.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released via a separate G1/8 port. You must engage it only after the rod completely stops. To release, balance pressures on both sides of the piston, supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the release port, and wait at least 0.5 s before commanding motion.
