The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X450S 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 Ø16mm rod and holds up to 900 N in either direction — no drift. Ø40mm bore, 450mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE40X450S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 16 mm rod, delivering a bidirectional 900 N static holding force with no live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.15-0.7 MPa.
The lock engages only after the rod stops, requiring balanced piston pressures and at least 0.5 s for release. A separate G1/8 port unlocks the unit, while the main cylinder uses a PT1/4 port. The -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X450S 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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 880 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 90 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 900 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.
Holds a 900 N suspended industrial door instantly in place during an E-stop or pressure loss, preventing gravity drift.
Secures a 628 N clamping fixture on a machining center; the fail-safe collet prevents the tool from dropping when air is exhausted.
Locks a 16 mm rod in an assembly line conveyor stop. The 900 N hold keeps the gate rigid even if the main air supply is cut.
Verify your load does not exceed the 900 N holding force. If you need less drive, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 600 N hold. For heavier loads, the 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 1400 N hold. Ensure pressures are balanced before unlocking.
At 450 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-loading damage. SE mounting accessories fit this body except FTC. When replacing, match the 40 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT thread, basic mounting, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 900 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod has completely stopped.
Drive force is 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, and max 90 kgf drive at 0.7 MPa. The separate static holding force of the lock is 900 N.
