The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X350S 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, 350mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED125X350S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A Ø32 mm rod exits both ends, yielding equal force in both directions—about 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe collet clamps the rod with 8600 N of static holding force, securing loads instantly if air pressure drops.
Because it is a double-rod design, the rear extension can mount a flag or cam for external limit sensing while resisting rotational torque. The lock engages only after the rod stops and releases via a dedicated G1/8 port when piston sides are pressure-balanced. This 125 mm bore includes a magnetic piston (-S) for CMSE or DMSE sensors, adjustable cushions at both ends, and operates at 30-500 mm/s within a 0.15-0.7 MPa pressure ceiling.
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 BSED125X350S 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.

Uses the equal 8028 N both-way drive to extend and retract heavy stamping blanks, while the 8600 N fail-safe lock holds the ejector pin rigidly during press cycling.
Raises and lowers substantial machining fixtures with symmetric force, relying on the spring-applied collet to prevent gravity-driven drops if shop air is interrupted.
Shifts heavy automotive sub-assemblies back and forth, using the rear rod for a cam follower to maintain anti-rotation stability while the lock holds position during welding.
Select this 125 mm bore when your application requires both-way symmetric drive (8028 N at 0.7 MPa) and high static holding. Verify your load stays under the 8600 N holding capacity. If you need less force, the adjacent 100 mm bore provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and 5500 N holding; as the largest standard size, stepping up requires a custom multi-cylinder configuration.
When replacing or ordering, match the 350 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC). At 350 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding on the long 32 mm rod. Always allow at least 0.5 s for the lock to release after balancing pressure, and never use it as a dynamic brake. For overhead or man-rated loads, employ separate safety-rated controls.
Quick checklist
This cylinder provides equal drive force in both directions: 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa (max 819 kgf). The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate static holding force of 8600 N with no live air required.
The lock is not a dynamic brake and must only be engaged after the rod stops. To release it, balance pressure on both piston sides, apply air to the dedicated G1/8 release port, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before commanding cylinder motion.
