The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X150 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, 150mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED100X150 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal force in both directions—delivering 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting cams or flags and naturally resists rotation.
This unit features a bidirectional fail-safe collet that clamps the rod with a 5500 N static holding force whenever air is lost or an E-stop is engaged. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The lock mechanism engages only after the rod stops and requires a dedicated G1/8 release port to overcome the spring pressure.
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 BSED100X150 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.

Holds a 5000 N vertical load securely in place during air loss events using the 5500 N fail-safe collet, while the double-rod design provides 5153 N of equal lifting and lowering force.
Indexes heavy workpieces with 525 kgf of symmetric thrust, using the rear rod for anti-rotation stability and the spring-applied lock to prevent drift during cutting operations.
Actuates a stopping jaw in both directions with equal speed, engaging the 5500 N static hold to freeze heavy pallets instantly when the air supply is cut or E-stop is hit.
Select this 100 mm bore when your application requires symmetric thrust up to 525 kgf alongside a robust 5500 N static hold. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 80 mm bore offers 2268 N of drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N holding capacity. For heavier demands, the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold. Always verify your load stays under the 5500 N limit and remember the lock is not a dynamic brake.
To release the clamp safely, both piston sides must be pressure-balanced, and you must allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa. When ordering a replacement, match the 150 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and your preferred mounting style from the available Basic, LB, FA, or TC options.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal drive force in both directions: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa (max 525 kgf). The integrated spring-applied rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 5500 N with no live air required.
The lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake. You must engage it only after the rod stops completely. To release safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced via the PT1/2 ports, apply air to the dedicated G1/8 release port, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before commanding cylinder motion.
