The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X200S 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 BSE63X200S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø20 mm piston rod automatically, delivering a 2200 N bidirectional static holding force without consuming live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock is managed via a dedicated G1/8 release port.
This 63 mm bore unit features an -S magnet for position sensing with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. The lock engages only after the rod fully stops and requires at least 0.5 s for pressure-balanced release before motion. The holding force comes strictly from the mechanical collet, not the adjustable air cushions at both ends.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X200S 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.
Holds a raised pallet mid-stroke with 2200 N of fail-safe force, preventing a crash if the main air supply drops suddenly during a vertical transfer.
Locks a machining spindle actuator in position during a tool change, ensuring the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa does not drift while the workpiece is loaded.
Acts as a rigid stop gate on a packaging conveyor. The collet lock engages instantly on E-stop to hold the accumulated queue without relying on live air.
Verify your suspended load stays below the 2200 N holding force. If your load is lighter and you need less drive, step down to the 50 mm bore (push 982 N at 0.5 MPa, hold 1400 N). If you need more holding and drive force, step up to the 80 mm bore (push 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, hold 3600 N). The lock is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops and release it only when piston pressures are balanced. Replacement matches require 63 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and your specific mounting (SE accessories fit except FTC).
Quick checklist
On air loss, the spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 2200 N bidirectional static hold. 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.
Apply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port only after balancing pressures on both sides of the piston. Wait at least 0.5 s for the collet to fully retract before commanding motion to avoid dragging the lock.
