The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X200 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, 200mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE32X200 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 12mm piston rod, delivering a 600N bidirectional static holding force with zero live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock exhausts through a dedicated G1/8 release port.
This fail-safe mechanism prevents drift on suspended loads, but it is not a dynamic brake. You must engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5s before moving. This SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is not available.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X200 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.
Holds a 5kg vertical lift jig securely in place with 600N of fail-safe clamping force the moment air is exhausted.
Prevents a small machining tool clamp from drifting downward during an E-stop, using the collet lock instead of air cushion.
Keeps a light conveyor stop gate locked in the raised position during power loss, ensuring packages do not pass.
Verify your load stays under the 600N holding force. If you need less drive, the adjacent down-bore (none smaller) is unavailable; if you need more, stepping up to bore 40 yields 628N push at 0.5MPa and 900N hold. Always engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and release it only when pressures balance, allowing at least 0.5s before moving.
For a drop-in replacement, match the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and your specific mounting code. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly except FTC. Since the 200mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load guides are less critical, but always support long rods to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
On air loss, the spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 600N static holding force in both directions. The drive force is separate: 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, with a max drive of 57kgf.
The lock is released via a separate G1/8 port at 0.15-0.7 MPa. You must release it only when the pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced, and allow at least 0.5 seconds before commanding movement to ensure full release.
