Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE50X350
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE50X350 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 Ø20mm rod and holds up to 1400 N in either direction — no drift. Ø50mm bore, 350mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE50X350
The AirTAC BSE50X350 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 1400 N bidirectional static holding force, securing your load in place the moment air pressure is lost or exhausted. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The lock uses a clamping collet mechanism on the 20 mm rod, requiring a separate G1/8 release port to unlock. Because this is a 350 mm stroke unit, you must use external guide rails to prevent side-loading damage to the seal and collet. This SKU ships without a magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
Rod Lock — 1400 N Static Holding (Ø50mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE50X350 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.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 1374 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 140 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 1400 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 BSE50X350 Is Used
Vertical Pneumatic Lift
Holds a 1400 N vertical lifting platform in place instantly if compressed air fails, preventing sudden drops during an E-stop.
Overhead Tool Clamp
Maintains 1400 N of clamping force on a machining fixture when shop air is exhausted, keeping the workpiece secured.
Pallet Stop Gate
Uses 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to actuate a 350 mm stop gate, locking securely mid-stroke during conveyor halts.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE50X350 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires 1400 N or less of holding force. If you need less drive power, step down to the 40 mm bore (628 N push @0.5 MPa, 900 N hold). If your load exceeds the 50 mm capacity, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N push @0.5 MPa, 2200 N hold).
Engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and standard mounting. SE mounting accessories fit perfectly except FTC.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 1400 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 BSE50X350 FAQ
The spring-applied collet engages automatically on air loss, providing a 1400 N static holding force. The drive forces are 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 140 kgf.
You must supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port. Ensure the pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced to avoid sudden shifting, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before commanding cylinder movement.
