The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X225 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, 225mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE32X225 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 12 mm rod to deliver a bidirectional static holding force of 600 N with no live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock-release mechanism uses a dedicated G1/8 port, entirely separate from the adjustable air cushions.
This fail-safe unit holds the load exactly where it stopped if air is exhausted or an E-stop trips. Because it uses the standard SE body, SE mounting accessories fit perfectly, except for the FTC variant. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so position sensing via CMSE or DMSE sensors is not supported.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X225 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 600 N vertical load on a packaging elevator in place during an air loss event, preventing uncontrolled drops.
Secures a light-duty machining fixture; the collet locks the rod instantly if the 0.7 MPa supply is interrupted.
Acts as a fail-safe stop on a conveyor line, staying firmly extended during an E-stop activation to halt product flow.
Verify your suspended load requires 600 N or less of holding force. If you need less drive and hold, the next bore down does not exist in this ISO series, so 32 mm is the floor. If you need more capacity, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and 900 N of holding force. Remember the lock is not a dynamic brake: engage it only after the 225 mm stroke fully stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. To replace, match the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and your specific mounting code. Since the stroke is 225 mm, ensure adequate guidance to prevent side-load damage to the seals.
Quick checklist
The integrated rod lock is spring-applied and air-released. If air is lost, the collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
The 32 mm bore generates 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 57 kgf drive). This drive capacity is separate from the 600 N static holding force of the lock.
