The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE32X700 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø12 mm piston rod, delivering a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with zero live air. This fail-safe mechanism immediately halts vertical drift if air pressure drops or an E-stop is triggered. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The lock uses a dedicated G1/8 release port, entirely separate from the PT1/8 cylinder drive ports and the 27 mm adjustable air cushions. Because it uses the standard SE body, all SE mounting accessories fit this cylinder except FTC. This specific SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is not available.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X700 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.

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.

Holds a 60 kg vertical lift gate mid-stroke. The 600 N collet lock prevents gravity-driven drops during air loss, keeping the gate exactly where it stopped.
Secures a small pneumatic clamp on a 700 mm stroke. If air exhausts unexpectedly, the spring-applied lock maintains the 600 N grip so the tool does not slip.
Acts as a conveyor stopper. The lock engages after the rod halts, holding the diverter arm steady against box impacts without needing continuous 0.7 MPa air.
Verify your load requires a holding force at or below 600 N and a drive force of 563 N at 0.7 MPa (57 kgf max). If you need less drive force, the adjacent smaller bore is unavailable, but if you need more holding and drive force, step up to bore 40, which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force. The lock is a static hold, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. At 700 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-load damage. The exact replacement match is BSE32X700 with PT threads and no magnet.
Quick checklist
The rod lock is spring-applied and air-released. If air is lost, the collet clamps the rod automatically, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold to prevent drift. It is a holding lock, not a dynamic brake, and must only be engaged after the rod has stopped.
The drive force is 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 57 kgf). The static holding force of the rod lock is 600 N, which is separate from the drive force.
