Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X600S
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.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X600S
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.
Rod Lock — 900 N Static Holding (Ø40mm)
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.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X600S Is Used
Palletizer Lift Arm
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.
CNC Tooling Gate
Secures an access gate on a machining center. The spring-applied collet keeps the barrier locked safely during E-stop or power loss.
Package Diverter
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.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X600S the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 900 N?
- ✓ Fail-safe hold on air loss / E-stop needed
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not as a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Add safety-rated controls for man-rated / overhead loads.
- check Use SE mounting accessories (FTC excepted).
Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X600S FAQ
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.
