Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X100S 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 Ø12mm rod and holds up to 600 N in either direction — no drift. Ø32mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X100S
The AirTAC BSE32X100S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air, ensuring suspended loads stay exactly where they stopped if pressure drops.
The cylinder runs at 0.15-0.7 MPa via a PT1/8 port, while a separate G1/8 release port governs the lock. Because it uses the SE body, standard SE mounting accessories fit perfectly except FTC. The -S magnet allows precise position tracking with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Rod Lock — 600 N Static Holding (Ø32mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X100S 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.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 563 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 57 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 600 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 BSE32X100S Is Used
Vertical Pneumatic Lift
Holds a 600 N vertical elevator stage mid-transit. The spring-applied collet clamps instantly on air loss, preventing the platform from crashing down during an E-stop.
Pick-and-Place Z-Axis
Secures a compact pick-and-place head carrying 3 kg parts. The fail-safe lock halts rod drift when shop air is exhausted, protecting delicate components on the workbench below.
Pallet Gate Stop
Locks a conveyor diverter gate in the extended position. The 600 N hold ensures the gate withstands accidental pallet impacts without retracting, even if the air supply is cut.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X100S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load requires 600 N or less of holding force. If you need less drive, no smaller BSE bore exists; if you need more, step up to bore 40, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and 900 N of holding force. Always engage the collet lock only after the rod fully stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving.
To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT thread, and -S magnet option. At 100 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent rod binding.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 600 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 BSE32X100S FAQ
The lock is spring-applied and air-released, meaning a collet clamps the rod bidirectionally if air is lost or exhausted. It provides a 600 N static holding force with no live air, but it is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops.
The drive force is separate from the 600 N holding force. At 0.5 MPa, push is 402 N and pull is 345 N. At the 0.7 MPa ceiling, push is 563 N, yielding a maximum drive of 57 kgf.
