The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X300 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE32X300 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a spring-applied, air-released collet rod lock. It delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 600 N with no live air, ensuring suspended loads stay exactly where they stopped during pressure loss or an E-stop trip. Operating pressure is capped at 0.15-0.7 MPa.
This 32mm bore, 300mm stroke unit uses a separate G1/8 port to unlock the mechanism. Because the clamp engages via internal spring pressure, the lock is fail-safe and completely independent of the adjustable air cushions at both ends. It is an ISO 15552 extruded aluminum profile body with no external tie rods.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X300 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.

Prevents a 600N vertical lift carriage from drifting down when the shop air is exhausted, locking the 32mm rod instantly in an E-stop.
Secures a light machining fixture in place during a sudden air drop, ensuring the clamped part does not shift or release mid-cycle.
Holds a conveyor diverter gate rigidly in the extended position without consuming continuous air, locking with 600N if the system faults.
Verify your load requires less than the 600 N static holding force. If you need less drive, the adjacent BSE40 offers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and 900 N hold; if you need more holding power, step up to the BSE50 with 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N hold. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. This SKU has no -S magnet, so position sensing is not available. For a 300 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear on the barrel and collet.
Quick checklist
A spring-applied collet clamps the 12mm rod, providing a 600N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is fail-safe, but it is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops.
Drive force is 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563N push at 0.7 MPa (max 57 kgf). The static holding force is 600N. Unlock via the G1/8 release port at 0.15-0.7 MPa, allowing >=0.5s after balancing piston pressures before motion.
