The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED100X800 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, 800mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED100X800 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal force in both directions—3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5153 N at 0.7 MPa (max 525 kgf). The rear rod is ideal for mounting tooling or flags and naturally resists rotation.
The fail-safe collet lock delivers a 5500 N static holding force with no live air required. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock releases via a dedicated G1/8 port. This 100 mm bore unit uses PT1/2 cylinder ports, a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and 36 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. Note: this SKU lacks a magnet, so CMSE/DMSE position sensors cannot be used.
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 BSED100X800 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.
| 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.

Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Related: SED (double rod, no lock), BSE (single-rod rod lock). Sensors CMSE/DMSE fit magnetic BSED.
Clamps large steel plates for CNC milling. The 5153 N equal both-way drive secures the jig, while the 5500 N fail-safe lock prevents movement if air pressure drops mid-cycle.
Raises 500 kg tooling assemblies. The double-rod design supports heavy rear-end flags, and the collet lock holds the load safely at height without relying on live air.
Halts 800 mm stroke indexing conveyors. The bidirectional lock engages after the rod stops, holding the 525 kgf load firmly in place during product transfer.
Select this model when you need symmetric both-way force and fail-safe holding for heavy loads up to 5500 N. If your load exceeds 5500 N, step up to the 125 mm bore (8028 N @0.7 MPa, 8600 N hold). If your drive force is excessive, step down to the 80 mm bore (3175 N @0.7 MPa, 3600 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 seconds. For an 800 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding and protect the seal.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 5500 N static holding force to keep the load in position. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod stops.
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 static holding force of the rod lock is 5500 N. Release the lock via the G1/8 port only when both sides are pressure-balanced.
