The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X450 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, 450mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.
The AirTAC BSE80X450 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A collet clamps the Ø25 mm piston rod automatically, delivering a 3600 N bidirectional static holding force with zero live air. This fail-safe mechanism prevents drift or drops if supply pressure is exhausted or an E-stop trips.
Operating pressure is capped at 0.15-0.7 MPa, and the lock unlocks via a separate G1/8 port. The lock is a holding device, not a dynamic brake: engage it only after the rod fully stops, and allow at least 0.5 s for release after balancing piston pressures. This 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke variant lacks a magnet (-S) for position sensing.
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X450 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 lift load firmly in place during an E-stop or pressure loss, preventing sudden drops using the 3600 N static collet hold.
Acts as a mid-stroke stop on a conveyor line. The fail-safe lock keeps the gate extended securely even if the main air supply is exhausted.
Maintains workpiece clamping force on a machining center during air pressure dips, ensuring the part stays fixed without relying on live air.
Verify your load to hold does not exceed the 3600 N static figure. For sizing context, the adjacent BSE63 bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa and 2200 N hold, while the larger BSE100 provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and 5500 N hold. Step up if your suspended mass or dynamic forces exceed the 80 mm limits.
Because the stroke is 450 mm, use a guide to prevent side-load wear on the seals and barrel. To release safely, balance pressures across the piston before supplying air to the G1/8 release port. When replacing, match the 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and mounting. SE mounting accessories fit this body except FTC.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, providing a 3600 N bidirectional static holding force to prevent movement. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake; the rod must be stopped before engagement. Supply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port to unlock it.
At 0.5 MPa, the drive force is 2513 N push and 2268 N pull. At the 0.7 MPa maximum, push is 3518 N, yielding a max drive of 359 kgf. This drive force is separate from the 3600 N static holding force of the lock.
