About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X500
The AirTAC BSED100X500 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 drive force of 3681 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa. The fail-safe collet lock provides a 5500 N static holding force, clamping the rod securely during an air loss or emergency stop.
This 100 mm bore unit uses a PT1/2 cylinder port and a separate G1/8 lock-release port. The extruded aluminum barrel has no external tie rods, maintaining a clean ISO 15552 mounting interface. With a 500 mm stroke, a 36 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends manages kinetic energy, while the lock handles static holding.
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 BSED100X500 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 BSED100X500 Is Used
Heavy Machining Clamps
Holds heavy machining fixtures at 500 mm extension with 5500 N of fail-safe force, while the 5153 N both-way drive firmly actuates the clamping arms.
Pallet Indexing Gates
The double-rod design mounts a rear cam flag for position confirmation, and the lock prevents heavy pallet gates from drifting when air is removed.
Overhead Lift Stations
Provides symmetric lifting power for vertical stops, engaging the 5500 N collet lock to hold the load in place without live air pressure.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X500 the Right Cylinder?
Select the BSED100X500 when an application requires symmetric both-way force and failsafe positioning. Verify your load does not exceed the 5500 N static holding force. If you need less force, the 80 mm bore offers 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. For heavier loads, the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8600 N holding force.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE position sensors cannot be used. The lock is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. For a 500 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent side-load wear on the seals.
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 BSED100X500 FAQ
The spring-applied, air-released collet clamps the rod instantly, providing up to 5500 N of static holding force without live air. It is a static lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must engage only after the rod stops.
The equal both-way drive force is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 525 kgf. The static holding force of the fail-safe lock is 5500 N.
