Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X100
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X100 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 Ø32mm rod and holds up to 8600 N in either direction — no drift. Ø125mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X100
The AirTAC BSE125X100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a robust bidirectional fail-safe hold, delivering 8600 N of static holding force to prevent drift without live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the drive system runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
This 125 mm bore unit features a 32 mm rod, an M27x2 rod-end thread, and a PT1/2 cylinder port. Unlocking the collet requires 0.15-0.7 MPa supplied to the separate G1/8 release port. This SKU does not include a magnet, so it does not support position sensing without modification.
Rod Lock — 8600 N Static Holding (Ø125mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X100 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 (Ø125mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 6136 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 8590 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 876 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 8600 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 BSE125X100 Is Used
Heavy Press Tooling Hold
Secures 8590 N press tooling instantly on air loss, using the 8600 N collet lock to prevent catastrophic drops during E-stop events.
Vertical Pallet Lifter
Holds loaded vertical pallet lifts firmly in place. The fail-safe spring mechanism locks the 32 mm rod if supply pressure drops below 0.15 MPa.
Automated Foundry Gate
Keeps heavy foundry gating valves positioned securely. The bidirectional lock withstands 8600 N of static force from either direction without live air.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X100 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load stays below the 8600 N static holding force. If you need less force, the 100 mm bore neighbor offers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and 5500 N holding force. As the largest standard bore, stepping up requires a custom solution. The drive outputs 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
Engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. Ensure your replacement matches the 125 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT thread, and basic mounting. SE-compatible mounting accessories fit except FTC.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 8600 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 BSE125X100 FAQ
The spring-applied collet engages automatically on air loss to provide 8600 N of static holding force. The drive force is 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 876 kgf.
Balance the air pressure on both sides of the piston first. Then supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port. Wait at least 0.5 s for the collet to fully retract before commanding cylinder movement.
