Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150 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, 150mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150
The AirTAC BSE32X150 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A separate G1/8 release port supplies air to free the collet, but if air is lost or an E-stop trips, the collet clamps the 12 mm rod automatically. This delivers a bidirectional fail-safe static holding force of 600 N with zero live air.
Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa for both the cylinder drive and the unlocking mechanism. The standard PT1/8 cylinder ports drive the piston at 30-800 mm/s, while the lock itself is strictly a static holding device—it must only engage after the rod has completely stopped. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE position sensors cannot be used.
Rod Lock — 600 N Static Holding (Ø32mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150 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 (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 BSE32X150 Is Used
Vertical Pneumatic Lift
Holds a 600 N vertical elevator platform firmly in place during power loss or E-stop activation, preventing uncontrolled descent.
Tooling Clamp Hold
Secures a 402 N pneumatic clamping fixture on a machining center, keeping the workpiece locked even if shop air is suddenly exhausted.
Pallet Stop Gate
Acts as a mid-conveyor stop for 32 mm bore assembly lines, maintaining its blocking position safely during air pressure drops.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires less than the 600 N holding force to prevent vertical drift. If you need less drive force, stepping down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest bore. If you need more holding or push power, the next size up is the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N static hold. Always balance pressures on both sides of the piston before releasing the lock, and allow at least 0.5 seconds for full release before commanding motion. When replacing a unit, match the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT thread, and mounting hardware. Since this is an SE-series body, all standard SE mounting accessories fit perfectly except the FTC combination.
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 BSE32X150 FAQ
The lock is spring-applied and failsafe. If air is lost, exhausted, or an E-stop trips, a collet clamps the rod automatically, providing a bidirectional static holding force of 600 N with no live air. It is a static hold only, not a dynamic brake.
The drive force is separate from the holding force. At 0.5 MPa, push is 402 N and pull is 345 N. At the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure, push is 563 N, yielding a maximum drive force of 57 kgf, while the static holding force remains 600 N.
