Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X900
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X900 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, 900mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X900
The AirTAC BSE100X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa and a bidirectional static holding force of 5500 N. Because the collet lock engages automatically upon air loss, it holds suspended loads safely in both directions without consuming live air.
This 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke unit features a PT1/2 cylinder port and a separate G1/8 release port. The lock is a holding device, not a dynamic brake; you must engage it only after the rod fully stops and release it only when piston pressures balance, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. This SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is not available.
Rod Lock — 5500 N Static Holding (Ø100mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X900 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 BSE100X900 Is Used
Heavy Vertical Lifts
Holds a 550 kg vertical press platen in place during an E-stop or pressure loss, preventing crashes using the 5500 N fail-safe collet grip.
Pallet Stoppers
Secures a loaded pallet on a 100 mm bore conveyor actuator, locking the 25 mm rod instantly to halt material flow safely when air is exhausted.
Tooling Clamp Hold
Maintains clamp pressure on a heavy machining fixture, using the 5497 N drive force to position the part and the lock to hold it securely.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE100X900 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load does not exceed the 5500 N holding force. If you need less drive or holding capacity, the 80 mm bore offers a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N hold. If you require more, the 125 mm bore provides a 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N hold. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
For a drop-in replacement, match the 900 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and your mounting choice. Standard SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly except FTC. Given the 900 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent excessive side-loading and rod binding.
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 BSE100X900 FAQ
The spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 5500 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air. It holds the load exactly where it stopped, but it is not a dynamic brake and should only engage after motion ceases.
Drive force at 0.5 MPa is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497 N, equating to 561 kgf max drive. The separate static holding force of the rod lock is 5500 N.
