The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X25S 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 Ø25mm rod and holds up to 3600 N in either direction — no drift. Ø80mm bore, 25mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE80X25S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It delivers a 3600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air, providing true fail-safe drift protection for vertical or suspended loads. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and a separate G1/8 release port governs the lock.
The lock uses a clamping collet mechanism, not the adjustable air cushions, to hold the rod firmly in both directions. Because it is a static hold, you must engage the lock only after the rod stops and release it only when piston pressures are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s before moving. The -S option equips this unit with a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X25S 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 360 kg vertical press ram mid-stroke instantly if air drops, preventing crashes without live air.
Secures a heavy machining fixture against 3518 N push forces during an E-stop, keeping the part fixed.
Locks a 25 mm stop pin rigid on a packaging conveyor during emergency exhaust, halting flow instantly.
Verify your load does not exceed the 3600 N static holding force. If you need less holding capacity, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N hold and 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more, the 100 mm bore provides 5500 N hold and 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when pressures are balanced, allowing 0.5 s. This 25 mm stroke is short, but for any stroke over 300 mm, add a guide to prevent side-load damage. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly except FTC.
Quick checklist
The drive force is 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa (max 359 kgf). The separate static holding force of the rod lock is 3600 N.
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 3600 N bidirectional hold. It is a static lock, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
