Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X600S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X600S 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X600S
The AirTAC BSE32X600S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a bidirectional fail-safe holding force of 600 N, clamping the 12 mm rod instantly if air pressure drops. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the cylinder runs at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
This 32 mm bore, 600 mm stroke variant includes a magnet for position sensing. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, meaning the adjustable air cushion is for end-of-stroke deceleration only, not load holding. Engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and allow at least 0.5 s for release before cycling.
Rod Lock — 600 N Static Holding (Ø32mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X600S 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 BSE32X600S Is Used
Z-Axis Pick & Place
Holds a small vertical lift arm steady during an E-stop. The 600 N static hold prevents the 12 mm rod from back-driving down, keeping the payload safely suspended without live air.
Light Tool Clamping
Secures a small pneumatic gripper at full extension. If air exhausts unexpectedly, the spring collet locks the 600 mm stroke in place, stopping the tool from dropping and damaging parts.
Pallet Diverter Gate
Maintains a conveyor routing gate in the extended position. The fail-safe lock keeps the gate rigid during a line halt, resisting vibration and unintended retraction until balanced air releases it.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X600S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires 600 N or less of holding force. If you need a smaller bore, note that no smaller BSE exists, so you must step up to the 40 mm bore, which raises the holding force to 900 N and the 0.5 MPa push to 628 N. If you can downsize, step down to the 40 mm bore to save space. Because this 600 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, use a guide rail to prevent side-load damage to the front collet and rod seals. Match the exact 32 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and -S magnet for a direct replacement.
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 BSE32X600S FAQ
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly upon air loss, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold. The drive forces are separate: push is 402 N and pull is 345 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 563 N at 0.7 MPa, max drive is 57 kgf, and the static holding force is 600 N.
You must supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port. Ensure the pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced first, then allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to fully release before commanding cylinder movement.
