AirTAC BSE50 Rod-Lock ISO Cylinder, 50 mm Bore

The AirTAC BSE50 is a double-acting rod-lock ISO 15552 cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 20 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 982 N and pulls 825 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1374 N push and 1155 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.

All BSE50 versions share 1/4" air ports, an M16×1.5 rod thread and 30 mm adjustable air cushions. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 45 stock order codes with strokes from 25 to 1000 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 1000 mm.

The BSE50 is the SE ISO 15552 cylinder with a compact clamping unit built in. Springs apply clamp plates to the piston rod and air releases them, so the rod can be locked at any point of the stroke, in either direction and whether it is extended or retracted. Static holding force at this bore is 1400 N. The clamp has its own G1/8 port and releases at 0.15 to 0.7 MPa; it can also be released by hand. The holding force is a static rating: stop the rod first, then clamp it.
