The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X75S 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, 75mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE40X75S is a 40mm bore, 75mm stroke ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 900 N with no live air required, ensuring suspended loads remain safely locked during pressure loss or E-stop events. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This double-acting single-rod actuator features a separate G1/8 release port to disengage the clamping collet. The lock is a fail-safe holding device, not a dynamic brake; it must be engaged only after the rod stops and released only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for full release before motion. The -S magnet option enables position sensing with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE40X75S 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 mid-stroke vertical lifting stage securely in place with 900 N of fail-safe force, preventing gravity drops if the air supply drops below 0.15 MPa.
Maintains clamping pressure on machined parts during an E-stop, keeping the 879 N drive force locked out until pressures balance and the G1/8 port releases the collet.
Acts as a rigid stop gate for lightweight conveyor pallets, using the spring-applied collet to stay firmly positioned without consuming continuous air.
Verify your load does not exceed the 900 N static holding force. If stepping down, the 32mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 600 N hold. If stepping up, the 50mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 1400 N hold. Always engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it solely when pressures are balanced, allowing >=0.5 s before moving.
To match this actuator exactly, specify the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and the -S magnet option. SE-compatible mounting accessories fit this body perfectly, except for the FTC model. Because the 75mm stroke is under 300mm, external side-load guides are less critical here than on longer strokes, but always ensure axial load alignment.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet engages automatically to provide a 900 N static holding force in both directions if air is lost. The drive forces are 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 90 kgf.
You must balance the air pressures on both sides of the piston first. Then supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port, wait at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to fully retract, and only then command cylinder motion.
