The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X1000 combines a double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder — a Ø25mm rod out BOTH ends for equal force both directions — with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK that holds up to 5500 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø100mm bore, 1000mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED100X1000 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force in both directions at 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The bidirectional collet lock provides a 5500 N static holding force with zero live air required.
This 100mm bore unit operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa and runs at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. It features a PT1/2 cylinder port, a 25mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and 36mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning CMSE or DMSE position sensors cannot be used. The lock mechanism uses a separate G1/8 release port, and the lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake.
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 BSED100X1000 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.

| 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.

Lifts heavy vertical loads with 5153 N of equal both-way force, engaging the 5500 N spring collet to prevent drops when air pressure is lost.
Stops heavy pallets on conveyors, using the rear rod for cam actuation while the lock holds the 1000mm stroke position firmly during E-stops.
Positions large machining clamps symmetrically, maintaining exact alignment via the double-rod anti-rotation feature and locking securely at 5500 N.
Select this model when your application requires symmetric thrust (5153 N at 0.7 MPa) and a robust fail-safe hold of 5500 N. If your load to hold is under 3600 N or your drive requirement is lower, step down to the 80mm bore, which provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. If you need greater drive force and holding capacity, the 125mm bore offers 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold.
At 1000mm stroke, guiding the load is critical to prevent side-load wear on the seals and lock collet. Engage the lock only after the rod stops completely, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the transition. Ensure your replacement matches the 100mm bore, 1000mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and basic mounting setup.
Quick checklist
This model delivers an equal both-way drive force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa (max 525 kgf). The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a static holding force of 5500 N with no live air required.
If air is lost, the spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, holding the load up to 5500 N. To release, apply pressure to the G1/8 release port only after both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the unlock cycle.
