Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X160S
The AirTAC BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X160S 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, 160mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X160S
The AirTAC BSE63X160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a bidirectional fail-safe holding force of 2200 N, ensuring suspended loads stay put the moment air is lost or an E-stop trips. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The lock uses a clamping collet on the 20 mm rod, released via a separate G1/8 port. This mechanism is distinct from the adjustable air cushions at both ends, which absorb end-of-stroke shock, not hold loads. The -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
Rod Lock — 2200 N Static Holding (Ø63mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X160S 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 BSE63X160S Is Used
Vertical Lift Hold
Holds a 150 kg vertical lift stage mid-stroke with 2200 N of fail-safe force, preventing a crash if the 0.7 MPa air supply drops.
Tooling Clamp
Secures a machining fixture with 2182 N of drive force, then locks the 20 mm rod to keep the part clamped during an emergency exhaust.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a mid-line conveyor stop. The collet lock holds the 160 mm stroke firmly in place during E-stops, resisting 2200 N of impact drift.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X160S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your static load is under the 2200 N holding limit. If your load is lighter, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N hold. For heavier demands, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N hold. 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.
This 160 mm stroke is under 300 mm, so standard side-load risks are minimal. When replacing a unit, match the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and the -S magnet. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly, except for the FTC bracket.
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 BSE63X160S FAQ
The spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, providing a 2200 N bidirectional static hold. The cylinder drive force is separate, offering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a max drive of 222 kgf.
Balance the air pressure on both sides of the piston first. 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 then command cylinder movement.
