The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X175 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X175 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal force and speed in both directions—about 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting a flag or cam and resists rotation.
The integrated collet lock delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 600 N with no live air. If air pressure is lost or an E-stop trips, the rod is held safely at position. The lock is a holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s.
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 BSED32X175 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 M10×1.25 both ends. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 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.
Holds a 600 N vertical jig securely in place during an air-loss event, while the 345 N both-way drive force ensures smooth up and down cycling.
Clamps the double-rod at a precise intermediate position for a machining pass, using the rear rod for anti-rotation and cam feedback.
Acts as a stopper gate that retracts and extends with equal 345 N force, locking at 600 N to survive unexpected E-stops without drifting.
Choose this 32 mm bore model when you need symmetric both-way drive force alongside fail-safe holding up to 600 N. If your load requires less holding or drive force, the smaller bore is unavailable, so you must step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 528 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N static hold. If you need more force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 825 N at 0.5 MPa and a 1400 N hold. Always verify your load is within the 600 N holding limit.
This SKU has no -S magnet, meaning it will not work with CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The cylinder port is PT1/8, and the separate lock-release port is G1/8. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa. For this 175 mm stroke, ensure external guides support any side loads to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
The rod lock is spring-applied, so it automatically clamps the rod with a 600 N static holding force when air is lost or removed. It is a fail-safe holding device, not a dynamic brake, and must only be engaged after the rod has stopped moving.
The double-rod drive force is equal both ways: 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. The lock releases via a separate G1/8 port when both sides are pressure-balanced.
