About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X100
The AirTAC BSED100X100 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal thrust and retraction forces of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric design supports rear-rod tooling or flag mounting while effectively resisting rotational twist.
The integrated collet lock delivers a 5500 N static holding force with zero live air, securing the load instantly if pressure drops. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock releases via a separate G1/8 port. This unit uses a standard 100 mm stroke, a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and lacks a magnet (-S), meaning no position sensors are installed on this SKU.
Double Rod + 5500 N Rod Lock (Ø100mm)
A rod exits both ends for symmetric force and back-rod tooling, and a spring clamps the collet so the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X100 holds its position in both directions on air loss or E-stop. Apply 0.15–0.7 MPa to the G1/8 release port to unlock. Engage only after the rod has stopped (not a dynamic brake), and release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced; allow ≥0.5 s for full release.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC BSED datasheet. Rod thread M20×1.5 both ends. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 5154 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 526 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 5500 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X100 Is Used
Vertical Lift Stations
Holds a 5500 N vertical load safely during air loss, while the 5153 N both-way force drives heavy lifting stages up and down with equal speed.
Multi-Tool Machining
The rear rod supports a secondary flag or cam for tool tracking, while the collet lock clamps the 25 mm rod to maintain exact position during heavy milling.
Heavy Pallet Stops
Provides 5153 N of equal push and pull force to index heavy pallets, then secures the 100 mm stroke position with a 5500 N static hold for loading.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X100 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore when an application requires symmetric 5153 N drive force at 0.7 MPa alongside a 5500 N fail-safe hold. If your load demands less force, the 80 mm bore offers 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold; if you need more, the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. Always verify your static load is under 5500 N.
Engage the lock only after the rod stops moving, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the transition. This is a static hold, not a dynamic brake. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and your specific mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need both symmetric force AND fail-safe hold?
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 5500 N?
- ✓ Back-rod space for tooling/flag
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not 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 Support both rod ends; avoid side load.
- check Use BSED mounting (Basic/LB/FA/TC).
Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X100 FAQ
The spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, providing a 5500 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it only engages after the rod stops. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
The drive force is equal both ways: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa (max 525 kgf). The integrated rod lock adds a separate 5500 N static holding force. Release the lock via the G1/8 port only when piston sides are balanced.
