The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X80S 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 BSE32X80S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air, ensuring suspended loads remain exactly where they stopped if air pressure drops or an E-stop trips. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the standard cylinder port is PT1/8.
This 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke unit uses a separate G1/8 release port to unlock the internal collet. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise position feedback. Because it uses the standard SE body, all SE mounting accessories fit perfectly, except FTC.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE32X80S 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.

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.
Holds a 600 N vertical elevator carriage firmly in place during an air loss event, preventing uncontrolled drops.
Keeps an 80 mm diverter gate locked mid-stroke on a packaging line, maintaining its position securely when E-stop is activated.
Secures a light machining fixture in place, ensuring the collet lock prevents the tool from shifting if supply pressure drops.
Verify your load requires 600 N or less of holding force. If you need less holding and drive force, no smaller BSE bore exists, but stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa and 900 N of holding force. For higher demands, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding. Always engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and allow at least 0.5 s for release after balancing piston pressures. Ensure your replacement matches the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and -S magnet options.
Quick checklist
On air loss, the spring-applied collet engages to provide a 600 N bidirectional static holding force. The drive figures are 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum drive force of 57 kgf.
You must balance the air pressure on both sides of the piston before supplying air to the separate G1/8 release port. Allow at least 0.5 s for the collet to fully release before commanding the cylinder to move.
