The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150S 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.
The AirTAC BSE32X150S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 12 mm rod automatically, delivering a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with zero live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This fail-safe mechanism holds the rod in both directions if air is exhausted or an E-stop trips. Unlocking requires 0.15-0.7 MPa supplied to the separate G1/8 release port. The standard SE mounting accessories fit this body, except FTC brackets. The -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X150S 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.

| 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.

Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting (BSE): Basic, LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, TC (FTC is not available on BSE). Related: SE (no lock), BSED (double-rod rod lock). Sensors CMSE/DMSE fit magnetic BSE.
Secures small pneumatic elevators carrying 30 kg jigs. The 600 N fail-safe collet prevents back-driving if air pressure drops suddenly during mid-travel pauses.
Holds machining tooling clamps in position. The spring-applied collet ensures the 402 N drive force maintains grip integrity without relying on live air during cycle stops.
Acts as a hard stop for lightweight conveyor pallets. The lock engages instantly when the line halts, resisting impact drift up to 600 N while parts transfer.
Verify your suspended load does not exceed the 600 N holding force. If you need less holding capacity, no smaller BSE bore exists; step up to bore 40, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N hold. Always engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. For this 150 mm stroke, standard guides are sufficient. Match replacement parts by 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The lock is spring-applied and fails safe. If air is lost or exhausted, a collet clamps the rod, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold. It is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops.
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 402 N and pull is 345 N. At the 0.7 MPa ceiling, push is 563 N, yielding a max drive of 57 kgf. This drive force is separate from the 600 N static holding force.
