Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X450
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X450 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X450
The AirTAC BSED125X450 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 force in both directions—5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or anti-rotation tooling.
This fail-safe collet lock provides a massive 8600 N of static holding force with zero live air. It engages bidirectionally to secure loads during pressure loss or E-stops. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
Double Rod + 8600 N Rod Lock (Ø125mm)
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 BSED125X450 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 M27×2 both ends. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø125mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X450 Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press Indexing
Uses the equal 8028 N both-way force to shuttle heavy dies, engaging the 8600 N collet lock to hold position securely during stamping impacts.
Large Vertical Lift Platforms
Lifts substantial weights symmetrically; the fail-safe rod lock clamps instantly on air loss to prevent catastrophic drops without needing live air.
Overhead Conveyor Stops
The rear rod mounts a cam for sequencing while the main rod halts heavy pallets, relying on the 8600 N static hold when E-stops trip.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X450 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 125 mm bore when you need both-way symmetric drive and massive fail-safe holding. Verify your load stays under the 8600 N static holding limit. If stepping down, the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and holds 5500 N; stepping up is not possible as 125 mm is the largest available.
For this 450 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-loading damage. To release the lock safely, balance pressure on both piston sides and wait at least 0.5 seconds before moving. Replacement matches require the same 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 port, and chosen mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need both symmetric force AND fail-safe hold?
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 8600 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 BSED125X450 FAQ
The drive force is equal both ways: 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa (max 819 kgf). The separate spring-applied rod lock provides an 8600 N static holding force with no live air.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released via a dedicated G1/8 port. You must balance pressure on both piston sides and apply release pressure, waiting at least 0.5 seconds before commanding cylinder motion.
