The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X175 combines a double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder — a Ø32mm rod out BOTH ends for equal force both directions — with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK that holds up to 8600 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø125mm bore, 175mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED125X175 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 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The collet lock provides a bidirectional fail-safe static holding force of 8600 N without requiring live air.
This 125 mm bore unit uses a PT1/2 cylinder port and a dedicated G1/8 release port. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the extruded aluminum barrel design omits external tie rods. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support position sensing.
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 BSED125X175 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 | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 8027 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 819 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 8600 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Clamps heavy cast iron blocks using 8028 N equal both-way force, while the 8600 N lock prevents fixture drift during high-energy cutting operations.
Lifts loaded pallets vertically with symmetric force, engaging the fail-safe collet to hold the 8600 N load securely in place during air loss events.
Uses the rear exiting rod as a mechanical stop flag, holding 8600 N against moving conveyor traffic when the air supply is removed.
Select this 125 mm bore model when your application requires both-way symmetric force and robust fail-safe holding. The lock safely resists loads up to 8600 N when engaged correctly after motion stops. If your load is lighter, the adjacent 100 mm bore provides 3681 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and 5500 N holding force. As the largest standard bore, stepping up requires a custom solution.
To release the lock safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. At 175 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always guide the load to prevent binding. To replace this unit, match the 125 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT thread, and Basic/LB/FA/TC mounting.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways at 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa (max 819 kgf). The separate static fail-safe holding force of the spring-applied lock is 8600 N.
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing up to 8600 N of bidirectional holding force with no live air. It is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops.
