The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X200 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, 200mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE63X200 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø20 mm piston rod to provide a bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N with zero live air required, ensuring suspended loads remain safely in place if pressure drops. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This 63 mm bore unit delivers a 0.7 MPa drive force of 2182 N (222 kgf), completely separate from the lock's holding capacity. The lock utilizes a dedicated G1/8 release port and must only engage after the rod stops, requiring balanced piston pressures and 0.5 s for full release before motion. This SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is unavailable.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X200 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.

Holds a 2200 N vertical machining head mid-stroke without live air, preventing sudden drops during E-stop or pressure loss.
Provides 2182 N of drive force to position a fixture, then locks the Ø20 mm rod securely at the exact stop for vibration-free clamping.
Acts as a fail-safe stop on heavy conveyor lines, using the collet lock to resist 2200 N of static impact force while awaiting cycle release.
Verify your load requires 2182 N or less to drive at 0.7 MPa, and that the suspended load does not exceed the 2200 N static holding force. If you need less drive power, step down to the 50 mm bore (982 N push at 0.5 MPa, 1400 N hold); if you need more, step up to the 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, 3600 N hold). Never engage the lock dynamically; only clamp after the rod fully stops. When replacing a unit, match the 200 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and mounting style. SE mounting accessories fit this ISO 15552 body except FTC. At 200 mm stroke, side-load is low, but always guide external loads to prevent rod binding.
Quick checklist
The drive force is 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 222 kgf). The integrated rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N with no live air.
The lock is spring-applied and failsafe, clamping the rod instantly if air is lost. To release, apply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced, and wait at least 0.5 s before moving to prevent dynamic braking damage.
