Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X800
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X800 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, 800mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X800
The AirTAC BSE100X800 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and 800 mm stroke, paired with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet mechanism provides a bidirectional static holding force of 5500 N. Because the lock is fail-safe, it clamps the 25 mm rod automatically if air is exhausted or an E-stop trips, holding the load securely in both directions without consuming live air. The cylinder operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa, which is a lower ceiling than a standard SE series.
The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port to overcome the collet grip, meaning the adjustable air cushions at both ends are for end-of-stroke damping only, not for holding loads. This 800 mm stroke unit uses a PT1/2 cylinder port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors. SE mounting accessories fit the body directly, except for the FTC variant.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X800 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 BSE100X800 Is Used
Heavy Vertical Lift Doors
Holds heavy industrial lifting doors in place during an E-stop, relying on the 5500 N fail-safe collet to prevent a 561 kgf equivalent drive load from dropping.
Overhead Tooling Platform
Secures suspended machining heads on multi-axis equipment. The spring-applied lock engages instantly upon air loss, keeping the 25 mm rod fixed mid-stroke.
Pallet Stacker Arrest
Prevents a raised pallet stacker from creeping downward when air is removed, using the mechanical collet rather than air pressure to maintain position.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X800 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load stays below the 5500 N holding force of this lock. If you need less holding capacity, the adjacent 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. If your load requires more drive force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. Remember the safety operating rule: engage the collet only after the 800 mm stroke fully stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds before moving. Because the 800 mm stroke is long, use a guide to prevent side-load wear on the seals. Match your exact 100 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT thread, and mounting choice.
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 BSE100X800 FAQ
On air loss, the spring-applied collet engages to provide a 5500 N static holding force in both directions with no live air. The drive forces are separate: 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum drive of 561 kgf at 0.7 MPa.
The lock is not a dynamic brake. You must engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced. Apply air to the separate G1/8 release port and wait at least 0.5 seconds for full release before commanding movement.
