The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X225 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, 225mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X225 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal force and speed in both directions—delivering 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod can mount tooling or a flag cam and resists rotation.
This unit provides a bidirectional fail-safe holding force of 600 N. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the collet clamps the rod to maintain position with no live air. Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, and the operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
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 BSED32X225 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 jig securely at 600 N when air is lost, while the double-rod design ensures identical 345 N lifting and lowering force at 0.5 MPa.
Provides equal both-way actuation for a conveyor stop gate; the spring-applied collet locks the rod safely if the pneumatic supply drops.
Uses the rear rod for a flag cam while the front rod drives a 49 kgf gripper, maintaining balanced speed and clamping instantly on E-stop.
Choose this 32 mm bore model when your application requires symmetric both-way force and a fail-safe hold up to 600 N. If you need less holding and drive force, step down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest bore. If your load exceeds 600 N or requires higher drive force, 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 the load to hold is under 600 N. This SKU has no magnet (-S), so CMSE or DMSE position sensors cannot be used. When replacing, match the 225 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, and Basic/LB/FA/TC mounting. For this 225 mm stroke, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 600 N static holding force to keep the load in position without live air. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
The double-rod 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 fail-safe holding force of the integrated rod lock is 600 N.
