Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80S 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 BSE100X80S
The AirTAC BSE100X80S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a robust 5500 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air required, ensuring suspended loads stay exactly where they stopped during an E-stop or pressure drop. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port to overcome the clamping collet, completely distinct from the adjustable air cushions at both ends. Because it uses the standard SE body, SE mounting accessories fit perfectly except for FTC. This 100 mm bore unit includes a -S magnet for precise position tracking with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80S 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 BSE100X80S Is Used
Vertical Pallet Lifters
Secures 550 kg vertical pallet loads instantly on air loss, preventing gravity-driven drops without needing continuous live air pressure.
Heavy Press Stands
Holds heavy press tooling firmly in its extended position during E-stops, delivering 5500 N of fail-safe clamping to protect operators.
Pallet Stop Gates
Locks heavy pallet stop gates rigid in the path of 5497 N drive force, ensuring the gate stays put even if the plant air supply suddenly exhausts.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X80S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load stays under the 5500 N holding force. If you need less holding and drive force, the 80 mm bore gives 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N hold. If you need more, the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N hold. The 100 mm bore itself delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
Engage the lock 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. For exact replacements, match the 100 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting style. Since the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risks are minimal, but standard guide rails are still recommended for optimal seal life.
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 BSE100X80S FAQ
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 rod lock is 5500 N.
It is spring-applied and fail-safe. If air is lost or exhausted, a clamping collet grips the 25 mm rod instantly, providing 5500 N of bidirectional hold. You must balance piston pressures and wait 0.5 s before releasing it.
