Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X80S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X80S 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, 80mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X80S
The AirTAC BSE125X80S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø32 mm rod to deliver an 8600 N bidirectional static holding force. If air is lost or an E-stop trips, the lock engages fail-safe to prevent drift.
Operating pressure is capped at 0.15-0.7 MPa, and the lock requires a separate G1/8 release port. The -S suffix adds a magnet for CMSE (reed) and DMSE (electronic) sensors. Remember the lock is a static hold, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops and allow at least 0.5 s for full release.
Rod Lock — 8600 N Static Holding (Ø125mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X80S 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.

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 40 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1000 mm |
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 BSE125X80S Is Used
Heavy Vertical Lifts
Holds suspended machining fixtures weighing up to 8600 N in place instantly if compressed air drops, preventing sudden crashes on large vertical axes.
Press Tool Clamping
Secures heavy stamping dies during an E-stop. The fail-safe collet locks the 32 mm rod bidirectionally, ensuring the press stays put without live air.
Large Machine Stops
Locks heavy automated machine beds in position. The 8590 N drive force moves the load, while the spring-applied lock rigidly holds it during dwell cycles.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE125X80S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load requires less than the 8600 N holding force. If you need less clamping, the adjacent 100 mm bore offers a 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. For heavier drive needs, the 125 mm is the largest standard BSE, delivering an 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa.
Always engage the lock only when the rod is stopped and release it only when piston pressures are balanced. As a direct replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, basic mounting, and -S magnet. SE mounting accessories fit this ISO 15552 body entirely except for 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 BSE125X80S FAQ
The drive force at 0.5 MPa is 6136 N push and 5734 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 8590 N (max 876 kgf). The integrated rod lock provides a separate 8600 N static holding force with no live air.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released, so a loss of control air instantly clamps the collet to the rod for a fail-safe hold. It is a static lock, not a dynamic brake; you must engage it only after the rod stops and allow at least 0.5 s for release.
