The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100S 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.
The AirTAC BSE63X100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N with no live air, ensuring suspended loads remain safely fixed during pressure loss or E-stop events. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The lock uses a clamping collet mechanism engaged by spring force and released via a separate G1/8 port. The standard air cushion is not the holding device; the collet lock provides the true fail-safe stop. This 63 mm bore unit includes a magnet for position sensing.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X100S 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.
Secures elevated pallets in packaging lines, utilizing the 2200 N holding force to prevent sudden drops if compressed air fails.
Holds machining spindles rigidly in place during heavy milling, relying on the collet lock rather than live air for precise positioning.
Maintains conveyor stop positions firmly during emergency stops, ensuring heavy workpieces do not drift on the 63 mm rod.
Verify your load requires a holding force at or below 2200 N. If you need less holding capacity, the 50 mm bore offers a 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. For heavier loads, the 80 mm bore provides a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. Engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. Ensure your replacement matches the 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and desired mounting.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 2200 N bidirectional static holding force to keep the load from drifting. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod stops.
The 63 mm bore provides a push force of 1559 N and a pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. At the 0.7 MPa ceiling, push is 2182 N with a maximum drive of 222 kgf, while the lock separately provides 2200 N of holding force.
