About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X200S
The AirTAC BSED100X200S 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—3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod can mount tooling or a flag cam and provides resistance to rotation. The integrated collet lock delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 5500 N.
This fail-safe lock engages automatically when air is lost or an E-stop trips, holding the rod at position with no live air. It is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, and the operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa. This 100 mm bore unit includes a magnet for CMSE (reed) or DMSE (electronic) sensors and features adjustable air cushions at both ends.
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 BSED100X200S 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 BSED100X200S Is Used
Overhead Z-Axis Lifts
Holds a 525 kgf vertical load securely with 5500 N of static force when air is lost, while the double-rod design provides equal 5153 N lift and lower force.
Pallet Stop Gates
Uses the rear rod for a cam flag to confirm gate position, while the spring-applied collet locks the 25 mm rod instantly during an E-stop.
Symmetric Press Tooling
Drives a forming tool with equal 3681 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, ensuring balanced pressing and retraction without rotation.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X200S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore double-rod cylinder when your application requires symmetric drive force and fail-safe holding up to 5500 N. Verify your load does not exceed 5500 N. If you need less force, the 80 mm bore model 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 engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s.
For a drop-in replacement, match the 200 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and your required mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC). The -S magnet option supports position sensing. Because this is a profile cylinder with no external tie rods, it offers a clean ISO 15552 mounting interface. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, add external guide rails to prevent side-load wear.
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 BSED100X200S FAQ
The double-rod drive force is equal both ways: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa (max 525 kgf). The fail-safe static holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 5500 N. The lock holds the load with no live air.
The lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake. Engage it only after the rod stops. To release, apply pressure to the G1/8 release port only after both piston sides are pressure-balanced, and allow at least 0.5 s for the collet to disengage.
