The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X600S 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE40X600S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the 16mm piston rod, delivering a 900 N bidirectional static holding force with zero live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This fail-safe mechanism prevents drift if air is exhausted or an E-stop trips. The lock engages only after the rod stops, requiring balanced piston pressure and at least 0.5 s for full release before motion. 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 BSE40X600S 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.

| 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 vertical lift arm in place during an air loss event, utilizing the 900 N static force to prevent a loaded pallet from drifting downward.
Secures an access gate on a machining center. The spring-applied collet keeps the barrier locked safely during E-stop or power loss.
Maintains a diverter position on a sorting line. The 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa moves the arm, while the lock holds it steady against impact.
Verify your suspended load stays under the 900 N holding force. If you need less drive, the 32mm bore pushes 402 N at 0.5 MPa and holds 600 N. If you need more, the 50mm bore pushes 982 N at 0.5 MPa and holds 1400 N. Always engage the lock only when the rod is stopped, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced.
At 600mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-load damage to the seal and front collet. For exact replacement, match the 40mm bore, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and -S magnet. SE mounting accessories fit this body except FTC.
Quick checklist
It is spring-applied and air-released. If air is lost, a collet clamps the rod, providing a 900 N bidirectional static hold. It is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops, and allow at least 0.5 s for release.
The drive force is separate from the 900 N holding force. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N. At the 0.7 MPa ceiling it pushes 879 N, with a maximum drive of 90 kgf.
