The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X300 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED125X300 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. Because the annulus area is identical on both sides, it delivers an equal drive force of 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa. A rod exits both ends, allowing rear-side tooling or a flag while resisting rotation.
The fail-safe collet clamps the 32 mm rod bidirectionally, providing an 8600 N static holding force with zero live air. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock uses a separate G1/8 release port. This unit lacks a magnet, so position sensing is not supported on this specific SKU.
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 BSED125X300 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.

Holds heavy machining fixtures securely with 8600 N of fail-safe clamping force during air loss, while providing 8028 N of equal both-way thrust for precise tool positioning.
Prevents heavy vertical loads from dropping via the spring-applied collet, utilizing the double-rod design for stable up and down movement without rotational drift.
Manages large press ejection cycles using symmetric 5734 N drive force at 0.5 MPa, locking instantly in place when the E-stop is tripped to halt mid-stroke.
Select this 125 mm bore when you need both-way symmetric thrust up to 8028 N at 0.7 MPa and a robust 8600 N fail-safe hold. If your load requires less force, the adjacent 100 mm bore provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa with a 5500 N holding force. If you need more holding capacity, this 125 mm bore is the largest available in the range. Ensure your actual load does not exceed the 8600 N static limit.
Always engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the transition. At 300 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear on the seals. Replacement requires matching the 125 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and mounting option.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet engages automatically, clamping the 32 mm rod with an 8600 N static holding force to keep the load in place. It is a fail-safe static lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod stops moving.
The double-rod design provides equal force both directions: 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 819 kgf. The static holding force of the lock is 8600 N. The operating speed range is 30-500 mm/s, and operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
