The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X900 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, 900mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE63X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 900 mm stroke and an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø20 mm piston rod, providing a bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N. If air is lost or an E-stop trips, the lock engages instantly to hold the load in place without live air. The operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
This unit uses a separate G1/8 release port to overcome the clamping spring. The lock is a fail-safe holding device, not a dynamic brake. You must engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when piston pressures are balanced. This SKU has no magnet, so it does not support position sensing.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE63X900 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.

| 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.

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 vertical lift carriage mid-stroke during a sudden air pressure drop, preventing a 2200 N load from crashing down.
Locks a machining fixture in place when the E-stop is hit, keeping the 1559 N drive load exactly where it stopped.
Maintains a heavy product stop at full 900 mm extension during main air exhaustion, holding against impact without drifting.
Verify your suspended load is under the 2200 N holding limit. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 1400 N hold. If you need more, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. Match your replacement by bore, 900 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and basic mounting. SE mounting accessories fit this body except FTC. At 900 mm stroke, prevent side-loading by guiding the external load to avoid binding.
Quick checklist
On air loss, the spring-applied collet engages to provide a 2200 N static holding force. The drive forces are 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 222 kgf.
Apply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port only after balancing pressures on both sides of the piston. Wait at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to fully release before commanding movement.
