The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X50S 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, 50mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE63X50S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a robust 2200 N bidirectional static holding force, ensuring suspended loads stay exactly where they stopped if air pressure drops. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke unit uses a separate G1/8 release port to unlock the internal collet. The -S magnet enables position detection with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. Remember to engage the lock only after the rod fully stops and allow at least 0.5 s for pressure balancing before releasing.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X50S 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 handler stationary at 1559 N push drive force, engaging the 2200 N fail-safe collet to prevent gravity drift during an E-stop.
Secures a machining fixture in place; the spring-applied lock maintains the clamp position without consuming live air during the cutting cycle.
Acts as a mid-conveyor stop gate that remains firmly extended and locked at 2200 N if the compressed air supply is suddenly exhausted.
Verify your load requires 2200 N or less of holding force. If your application needs less drive power, the 50 mm bore neighbor offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. If you need heavier suspension capacity, stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force.
When replacing, match the 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly except FTC. Because the 50 mm stroke is short, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure the load is balanced before actuating the lock.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet engages automatically upon air loss, delivering a 2200 N static holding force. The drive forces are separate: push is 1559 N and pull is 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 222 kgf.
You must supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the separate G1/8 release port. Ensure the pressures on both sides of the piston are balanced first, then allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to fully release before commanding cylinder movement.
