The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X450S 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE125X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a massive 8600 N bidirectional static holding force, ensuring suspended loads remain safely locked in place even if air pressure drops. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock is controlled via a separate G1/8 release port.
Equipped with a -S magnet for CMSE and DMSE sensors, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The lock is a holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the piston stops and allow at least 0.5 s for full release before cycling. SE mounting accessories fit this body entirely, except for the FTC variant.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X450S 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.

Secures 8600 N vertical press rams or heavy lifting stages instantly if air exhausts, preventing catastrophic drops during E-stop events.
Holds heavy injection molding platens rigidly in place during air loss, utilizing the spring-applied collet to maintain exact positioning.
Locks heavy overhead crane trolleys or large automated gantry loads securely at target positions without relying on continuous live air.
Verify your load stays under the 8600 N holding capacity. If you need less force, stepping down to the 100 mm bore yields a 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. If you need more drive force, this 125 mm bore is the largest available, offering an 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa and an 876 kgf max drive. Because the 450 mm stroke is long, use a guide to prevent side-load damage. To replace this unit, match the 125 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and -S magnet. Remember to balance pressures before unlocking.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet clamps instantly, delivering an 8600 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops.
At 0.5 MPa, push is 6136 N and pull is 5734 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 8590 N, max drive is 876 kgf, and the static holding force is 8600 N.
