Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X500
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X500 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, 500mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X500
The AirTAC BSE63X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the collet clamps the 20 mm rod instantly, locking the load safely in place without consuming live air.
Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock releases via a dedicated G1/8 port. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel conforms to ISO 15552 dimensional standards without using external tie rods.
Rod Lock — 2200 N Static Holding (Ø63mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X500 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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC BSE datasheet. The lock uses the SE standard body; SE mounting accessories fit BSE except FTC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
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 BSE63X500 Is Used
Vertical Pallet Lift
Secures a 200 kg pallet lift at mid-stroke. The 2200 N fail-safe collet locks the load instantly if air exhausts, preventing sudden drops during an E-stop.
Z-Axis Spindle Head
Holds a machining head elevated between cycles. The spring-applied lock sustains the 222 kgf drive capacity safely without needing continuous live air.
Pallet Diverter Gate
Maintains a heavy conveyor divert gate open across the 500 mm stroke. The lock engages only after the gate stops, ensuring rigid positioning during product transfer.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X500 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires 2200 N or less of holding force. If you need less drive and hold, the adjacent 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. If your application demands more, step up to the 80 mm bore, which yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. Ensure the load is completely stopped before engaging the lock, and allow at least 0.5 s for pressure balancing before resuming motion.
At 500 mm of stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to side loads. Use a external guide rail to prevent bending moments from damaging the piston rod or the front collet. When replacing a unit, match the 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and mounting style. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly, except the FTC front cap.
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 BSE63X500 FAQ
The lock is spring-applied and air-released, providing a 2200 N static holding force with no live air. The drive forces are separate: 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors, you must select the BSE63X500S variant with the magnet option.
