Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X600S
The AirTAC Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X600S 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, 600mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder ports, G1/8 lock-release port.

About the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X600S
The AirTAC BSE80X600S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. It features a 600 mm stroke and a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread. The cylinder operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa, utilizing a PT3/8 port for drive air and a separate G1/8 port for lock release.
This fail-safe collet mechanism provides a 3600 N bidirectional static holding force without consuming live air. Because the lock engages automatically upon air loss or E-stop activation, it secures the load precisely where it stopped. Remember to engage the lock only after the rod stops moving and allow at least 0.5 s for full release before resuming motion.
Rod Lock — 3600 N Static Holding (Ø80mm)
A spring clamps the collet onto the rod, so the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X600S 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 BSE80X600S Is Used
Vertical Pallet Lifters
Holds a 360 kg vertical lifting carriage firmly in place during an E-stop, preventing gravity-driven drops without needing continuous air supply.
Heavy Package Diverters
Secures a 600 mm stroke diverter arm in the extended position on a sorting line, using 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to move heavy cartons.
Overhead Tooling Racks
Locks suspended machining tooling at full extension, relying on the spring-applied collet to keep the 25 mm rod immobile if the main air line exhausts.
Is the Airtac BSE Clamp Standard Cylinder BSE80X600S the Right Cylinder?
Verify your suspended load requires 3600 N or less of holding force. If your application needs less drive, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold. If you need more stopping security, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. Both alternatives maintain the 0.7 MPa operating ceiling.
With a 600 mm stroke, you must account for side-load risks; use external guide rails to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. When ordering a replacement, match the 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT3/8 thread, and the -S magnet option. SE mounting accessories fit this body perfectly, except for the FTC variant.
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 BSE80X600S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the drive push force is 2513 N and the pull force is 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518 N (max 359 kgf). The static holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 3600 N, which is separate from the pneumatic drive force.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released, meaning a loss of air pressure causes the collet to clamp the rod instantly, providing a 3600 N bidirectional hold. It is not a dynamic brake; you must engage it only after the rod stops, balance pressures on both sides, and allow 0.5 s for release before moving.
