The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X300 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X300 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force and speed in both directions. It provides 345 N of drive force each way at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa. The fail-safe collet lock delivers 600 N of static holding force, keeping the rod firmly clamped if air pressure drops.
This unit features an extruded aluminum barrel without external tie rods and uses a separate G1/8 lock-release port. The bidirectional lock engages only after the rod stops and releases when both piston sides are pressure-balanced. This SKU has no 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 BSED32X300 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.
Holds a 50 kg vertical pick-and-place arm mid-stroke with 600 N of fail-safe force if air drops, while the rear rod mounts a stroke flag.
Drives a light transfer carriage with equal 345 N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa, locking securely during dwell periods.
Clamps a small fixture at a precise 300 mm extension, using the lock to resist cutting vibration without needing live air.
Choose this 32 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way force and a 600 N fail-safe hold over a 300 mm stroke. If your load requires less holding force, the BSED series does not offer a smaller bore. If you need more force, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa drive force and 900 N of holding force. For even heavier loads, the 50 mm bore offers 825 N drive and 1400 N holding force. Always verify your load stays under the 600 N static limit.
Because the 300 mm stroke is long, use a guide rail to prevent side-load sagging on the rod. Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds. The cylinder port is PT1/8, and the lock-release port is G1/8. To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, Basic/LB/FA/TC mounting, and PT thread.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing 600 N of static holding force to keep the load in position. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod stops.
The double-rod design provides equal drive force both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive force of 49 kgf. The static holding force of the lock is 600 N.
