Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100 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 2200 N in either direction — no drift. Ø63mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100
The AirTAC BSE63X100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a robust 2200 N bidirectional static holding force, securing loads safely in both directions whenever air pressure is lost or exhausted. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the separate G1/8 release port governs the unlocking action.
This 63 mm bore unit uses a PT3/8 cylinder port, a Ø20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread, and adjustable air cushions at both ends. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake, meaning the rod must be fully stopped before engagement.
Rod Lock — 2200 N Static Holding (Ø63mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100 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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 2182 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 223 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 2200 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 BSE63X100 Is Used
Vertical Machining Center Loader
Holds a 150 kg tooling head mid-stroke on a vertical axis. The 2200 N holding force prevents a crash or drop if shop air drops suddenly.
Pneumatic Press Clamp
Maintains 2182 N of clamping force at 0.7 MPa. The fail-safe collet locks the 100 mm stroke position instantly upon E-stop activation.
Pallet Divertor Gate
Acts as a hard stop on a packaging line. The spring-applied lock keeps the gate rigidly extended during power loss, resisting reverse impacts.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires less than the 2200 N holding force. If you need less drive power, the 50 mm bore neighbor offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. If your application demands more, step up to the 80 mm bore for 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. When replacing, match the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting choice. SE-compatible mounting accessories fit this body, except FTC.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 2200 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 BSE63X100 FAQ
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod automatically when air is lost, providing 2200 N of static holding force. The drive forces are 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum drive of 222 kgf.
You must supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port. Release the lock only after balancing the air pressure on both sides of the piston, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before commanding cylinder movement to ensure full disengagement.
