The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X600S 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, 600mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE63X600S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 600 mm stroke and an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It provides a robust 2200 N static holding force in both directions without requiring live air, ensuring suspended loads remain safely locked during pressure loss or E-stop events. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the 63 mm bore runs at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
This magnetic variant (-S) supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise position feedback. The lock utilizes a separate G1/8 release port and a bidirectional clamping collet, which is fundamentally distinct from the adjustable air cushions at both ends. Remember the lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the piston stops.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X600S 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.

Secures a 200 kg vertical pallet lifter mid-cycle. The 2200 N fail-safe collet locks instantly if compressed air drops, preventing sudden crashes on the packaging floor.
Holds a machining tooling arm steady during an emergency stop. The 1559 N push drive at 0.5 MPa moves the 600 mm stroke arm, while the collet prevents drift.
Acts as a fail-safe stop gate on an assembly conveyor. The spring-applied collet ensures the barrier stays rigidly extended during air loss, halting heavy parts.
Verify your load requires 2200 N or less of holding force and 222 kgf max drive force. If you need less drive power, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. For heavier suspension, stepping up to the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. Always balance piston pressures before unlocking, allowing at least 0.5 s for full release.
With a 600 mm stroke, use a guide rail to prevent excessive side loads on the 20 mm rod. This model includes a PT3/8 cylinder port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a magnet. Direct replacements must match the 63 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, and -S option. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly except for FTC.
Quick checklist
The lock is spring-applied and air-released, providing a 2200 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. The drive forces are 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a max drive of 222 kgf. The holding force is separate from the drive force.
You must first bring the cylinder to a complete stop and balance the air pressures on both sides of the piston. Then supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to fully disengage before commanding movement.
