The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X80 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, 80mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE32X80 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a 600 N bidirectional static holding force to secure loads safely without live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.15-0.7 MPa, and speed ranges 30-800 mm/s.
The lock uses a clamping collet mechanism actuated by a separate G1/8 release port. This SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is not available. It uses a PT1/8 cylinder port, a 12 mm rod, and a 27 mm cushion length. SE mounting accessories fit this body, except FTC.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X80 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.
| 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.

Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting (BSE): Basic, LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, CR, TC (FTC is not available on BSE). Related: SE (no lock), BSED (double-rod rod lock). Sensors CMSE/DMSE fit magnetic BSE.
Secures a 60 kg vertical lifting stage on a packaging machine, preventing drift when air is exhausted.
Maintains a pneumatic tool clamp position on an assembly fixture, ensuring the tool does not drop on E-stop.
Holds a conveyor diverter gate firmly in place during emergency power loss to prevent product jams.
Verify your load does not exceed the 600 N holding force. If you need less drive force, the next size down is unavailable, but stepping up to a 40 mm bore gives 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and 900 N hold. For higher loads, a 40 mm bore offers 879 N push at 0.7 MPa. Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and allow 0.5 s for release when pressures are balanced. For an exact replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT thread, and mounting option.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet engages instantly, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold. It is a holding lock, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
Drive force is separate from holding force. At 0.5 MPa, push is 402 N and pull is 345 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N, max drive is 57 kgf, and the holding force is 600 N.
