The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X450S 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.
The AirTAC BSED125X450S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A Ø32 mm rod exits both ends, delivering equal force in both directions—about 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe collet mechanism provides an 8600 N static holding force without requiring live air.
Because the rear rod extends out the back, it can carry a flag or cam for external tracking while resisting rotational torque. The lock engages bidirectionally via a dedicated G1/8 release port, operating at 0.15-0.7 MPa. This 125 mm bore unit includes a -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors and utilizes adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb kinetic energy.
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 BSED125X450S 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.

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 a massive vertical platen steady at 8600 N during an E-stop, while the 8028 N both-way drive force raises and lowers the mass smoothly.
Uses the rear exiting rod to mount a cam for tooling confirmation, locking the 819 kgf max drive load rigidly during part machining.
Provides symmetric stopping force in both directions on a heavy-duty conveyor, engaging the fail-safe collet to hold heavy pallets during loading.
Choose this 450 mm stroke model when a heavy load demands both symmetric thrust and fail-safe positioning. Verify your static load does not exceed the 8600 N holding capacity. If you need less force, the neighboring 100 mm bore provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold; stepping up is not possible as 125 mm is the largest standard size. For any stroke at or above 300 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear on the seals.
Engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the transition. To replace this unit, match the 125 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and -S magnet option. Mounting options are limited to Basic, LB, FA, and TC.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways at 5734 N @0.5 MPa and 8028 N @0.7 MPa (max 819 kgf). The separate static holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 8600 N, which holds the load securely with no live air.
If air is lost or an E-stop trips, the spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, engaging the 8600 N bidirectional hold. It is a static lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod stops. To release, restore pressure to the G1/8 port and allow at least 0.5 seconds.
