The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X100 combines a double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder — a Ø12mm rod out BOTH ends for equal force both directions — with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK that holds up to 600 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø32mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X100 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 of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The internal collet mechanism provides a bidirectional fail-safe holding force of 600 N with zero live air required.
This 32 mm bore unit features a PT1/8 cylinder port and a separate G1/8 lock-release port. The extruded aluminum barrel omits external tie rods for a clean ISO 15552 mounting interface. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
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 BSED32X100 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 | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 484 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 49 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 600 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Related: SED (double rod, no lock), BSE (single-rod rod lock). Sensors CMSE/DMSE fit magnetic BSED.
Secure vertical pick-and-place loads with 600 N of static holding force, preventing drops if air pressure drops suddenly during operation.
Utilize the equal 345 N both-way drive force to mount identical tooling on both rods, ensuring balanced actuation for precision clamping.
Leverage the double-rod design to resist mechanical rotation, using the rear rod for a flag cam while the lock holds position mid-stroke.
Select this 32 mm bore model when your application requires symmetric both-way force and a fail-safe hold up to 600 N. If your load demands less hold, no smaller BSED bore exists. If you need more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 528 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops moving, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
When replacing a unit, verify the 100 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and your mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC). Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock requires a separate G1/8 supply. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, standard side-load risks are minimized, but always verify guide alignment.
Quick checklist
The integrated rod lock is spring-applied, meaning it automatically clamps the rod if air is lost or an E-stop trips, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold. It is not a dynamic brake, so you must engage it only after the rod stops moving.
The BSED32X100 delivers equal both-way drive force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa (max 49 kgf). The static fail-safe holding force of the lock is 600 N. Release the lock only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
