Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X600
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X600
The AirTAC BSED125X600 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 in both directions at about 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum body has no external tie rods, ensuring clean integration.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning no CMSE or DMSE position sensors can be fitted. The bidirectional collet lock provides a robust 8600 N static holding force with zero live air required. The lock engages via a dedicated G1/8 release port, completely separate from the adjustable air cushions at both ends.
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 BSED125X600 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 BSED125X600 Is Used
Heavy Machining Center
Ideal for heavy machine tools requiring 8028 N equal both-way force to move large fixtures, while the 8600 N lock holds the mass securely during aggressive cutting cycles.
Large Press Handling
Perfect for heavy press operations where the rear rod supports a cam flag for timing, and the fail-safe collet prevents the 600mm stroke from creeping during air loss.
Automated Welding Station
Suitable for large welding manipulators needing identical push and pull thrust, utilizing the spring-applied lock to freeze the heavy arm instantly upon E-stop activation.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED125X600 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 125mm bore model when a heavy load demands high symmetric force and fail-safe holding. Verify your static load does not exceed the 8600 N holding capacity. If sizing down, the 100mm 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. For the 600mm stroke, use a guide rail to prevent side-loading damage to the rod and collet.
Always engage the lock only after the rod completely stops moving. To release safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. When replacing, match the 125mm bore, 600mm stroke, PT1/2 cylinder port, and your specific mounting choice from 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 BSED125X600 FAQ
The drive force is equal both ways: 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 integrated rod lock is 8600 N, which holds the load with no live air.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released via a G1/8 port. If air is lost, the collet clamps the rod immediately, providing fail-safe holding. To release, both piston sides must be pressure-balanced, and you must allow at least 0.5 seconds before commanding motion.
