The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X175S 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 BSED32X175S 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 and 483 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or anti-rotation tooling.
With no live air, the internal collet clamps the rod to provide a 600 N static fail-safe holding force. It uses a dedicated G1/8 release port and operates at 0.15-0.7 MPa. This 32 mm bore unit includes a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors and features 27 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
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 BSED32X175S 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 60 kg vertical lift payload securely mid-stroke with 600 N of fail-safe force when air is removed, while providing 345 N of equal lifting and lowering drive.
Drives a bidirectional parts shuttle with equal 483 N force in both directions, locking the 12 mm rod instantly during an E-stop to prevent drift.
Powers a double-rod gripper assembly where the rear rod carries a position flag, maintaining 345 N of symmetric clamping force and locking safely upon air loss.
Choose this 32 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way force and fail-safe holding up to 600 N. If your load requires less holding, there is no smaller BSED bore. If you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 528 N of drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force. Always verify your load stays within the 600 N static limit.
Engage the lock only after the rod stops completely, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds. For exact replacement matching, confirm the 175 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and your preferred mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, providing a 600 N static holding force in both directions without live air. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod has stopped moving.
The drive force is equal both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 49 kgf. The static holding force of the lock is 600 N. It operates at speeds from 30-800 mm/s, and the -S suffix means it includes a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
