Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500 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, 500mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500
The AirTAC BSE80X500 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, ensuring suspended loads remain safely locked in place the instant air pressure is lost or an E-stop is triggered.
Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock requires a separate G1/8 release port to disengage the clamping collet. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The air cushion at both ends smooths end-of-stroke impacts but is not the holding mechanism.
Rod Lock — 3600 N Static Holding (Ø80mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500 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.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 3519 N | — |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 359 kgf | |
Drive force is separate from the 3600 N static holding force of the lock. BSE operates up to 0.7 MPa. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500 Is Used
Vertical Pallet Lift
Holds a 300 kg vertical pallet lift securely mid-stroke, preventing a catastrophic drop if the 0.7 MPa air supply exhausts during an E-stop.
Injection Mold Tooling
Clamps a heavy mold base against gravity; the 3600 N fail-safe collet lock keeps the tool fixed solidly during an air pressure loss.
Pallet Stop Gate
Acts as a physical stop gate on a heavy-duty conveyor, remaining firmly locked in both directions when the system is shut down.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500 the Right Cylinder?
Verify your load stays below the 3600 N holding force. If your load is lighter, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold. If you need more force, stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and allow at least 0.5 s for full release after balancing piston pressures.
With a 500 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-load bending and premature seal wear. This BSE80X500 uses a PT3/8 cylinder port, a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and accepts all SE mounting accessories except FTC.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 3600 N?
- ✓ Fail-safe hold on air loss / E-stop needed
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for CMSE/DMSE sensors?
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not as a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Add safety-rated controls for man-rated / overhead loads.
- check Use SE mounting accessories (FTC excepted).
Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X500 FAQ
The integrated spring-applied collet instantly clamps the 25 mm rod, providing a 3600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
The 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, equating to 359 kgf max drive force. This drive force is separate from the 3600 N static holding force of the lock.
