The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X200S 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 BSE32X200S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air, providing true fail-safe drift protection for vertical or suspended loads. Operating pressure is capped at 0.15-0.7 MPa, and the lock is released via a separate G1/8 port.
The integrated collet lock engages mechanically when air exhausts or an E-stop trips, clamping the 12 mm rod securely in both directions. This is a static holding lock, not a dynamic brake: engage it only after the rod stops, balance piston pressures, and allow at least 0.5 s for full release before moving. The -S option includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X200S 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.

Holds a 402 N vertical push load mid-stroke. The 600 N collet lock engages instantly on air loss, preventing a small elevator platform from crashing down.
Secures a light machining fixture. If shop air drops, the fail-safe lock maintains the 600 N grip, stopping the workpiece from slipping out of the spindle.
Acts as a mid-line stop on a conveyor. The rod lock keeps the gate extended during an E-stop, holding the 345 N pull load firmly until the system is reset.
Verify your suspended load requires 600 N or less of holding force. If you need less drive and hold, the next size down does not exist in this series, so the BSE32 remains the starting point. If stepping up, the BSE40X200S provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and 900 N of holding force. Always engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and release it only when both sides are pressure-balanced with at least 0.5 s delay before motion. For direct replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, basic mounting, and -S magnet. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risks are minimal, but standard guide rules still apply to lateral forces.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold. It keeps the load exactly where it stopped. It is not a dynamic brake, so you must only engage it after the rod stops.
The drive force is 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and max drive is 57 kgf. The separate static holding force from the rod lock is 600 N.
