Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X175
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X175 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X175
The AirTAC BSED100X175 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 drive force of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting external flags or tooling while resisting rotational twist.
The fail-safe collet clamps bidirectionally with zero live air, delivering a 5500 N static holding force. It operates via a dedicated G1/8 release port, completely independent of the adjustable pneumatic cushions. This unit lacks a position magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE sensors can be fitted to this specific 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 BSED100X175 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 BSED100X175 Is Used
Overhead Z-Axis Lifts
Holds a 550 kg vertical load securely with 5500 N of fail-safe clamping force while delivering 5153 N of equal both-way drive force for smooth up/down traversal.
Servo-Driven Presses
The double-rod design resists rotational twist during high-force pressing, while the collet lock freezes the 25 mm rod instantly if air pressure drops below 0.15 MPa.
Pallet Stopper Arms
A rear rod can mount a cam for position feedback while the front rod cycles a 5153 N stop arm, locking rigidly via the G1/8 port during E-stops.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X175 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need both symmetric thrust and fail-safe holding. Verify your load requires 5500 N or less of static holding force. If your load is lighter, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. If you need more drive force, the 125 mm bore offers 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and an 8600 N hold.
Always 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. When replacing, match the 100 mm bore, 175 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 BSED100X175 FAQ
The spring-applied collet clamps the 25 mm rod immediately, 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 moving.
The drive force is equal in both directions: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 525 kgf. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock holds up to 5500 N.
