Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50
The AirTAC BSE32X50 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø12 mm piston rod, providing a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air required. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The lock engages automatically if air is lost, ensuring the load stays exactly where it stopped. A separate G1/8 release port balances pressures to free the rod. Because it uses the standard SE body, all SE mounting accessories fit this model except FTC. This SKU lacks a magnet, so position sensing is unavailable.
Rod Lock — 600 N Static Holding (Ø32mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50 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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC BSE datasheet. The lock uses the SE standard body; SE mounting accessories fit BSE except FTC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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.

Where the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50 Is Used
Vertical Pneumatic Lifts
Holds a 600 N raised payload securely in place during an E-stop or pressure drop, preventing sudden drops in small packaging lines.
Tooling Clamp Station
Maintains 600 N of clamping force on a machined part when shop air is exhausted, keeping the workpiece fixed for safe unloading.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Locks a 50 mm stroke stop in the up position to halt pallets, staying rigidly extended even if the main air supply is severed.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load stays below the 600 N holding capacity. If you need less drive force, the adjacent 32 mm bore is the smallest available; stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N hold. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and allow at least 0.5 s for full release before moving. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and basic mounting.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 600 N?
- ✓ Fail-safe hold on air loss / E-stop needed
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not as a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Add safety-rated controls for man-rated / overhead loads.
- check Use SE mounting accessories (FTC excepted).
Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X50 FAQ
The spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, delivering a 600 N bidirectional static hold. This fail-safe mechanism prevents drift, but it is not a dynamic brake; the rod must be stopped before engagement.
At 0.5 MPa, the drive push is 402 N and pull is 345 N. At the 0.7 MPa ceiling, push is 563 N (max 57 kgf). The static holding force of the lock is 600 N, which is separate from these drive forces.
