About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500
The AirTAC BSED32X500 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 force and speed in both directions—about 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric design allows the rear rod to carry a flag or cam while actively resisting rotation.
The fail-safe collet lock provides a 600 N static holding force with no live air, clamping the 12 mm rod instantly if pressure drops or an E-stop trips. The lock operates via a separate G1/8 release port and engages bidirectionally. Note that this unit has no magnet (-S), so it will not work with CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
Double Rod + 600 N Rod Lock (Ø32mm)
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 BSED32X500 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500 Is Used
Vertical Lift Jigs
Holds a 600 N vertical jig securely in place without live air, while the double-rod design provides equal 345 N lifting and lowering force at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Stopper Arms
Uses the rear rod extension to mount a cam for position confirmation, stopping pallets with symmetric drive force and locking instantly during E-stops.
Component Press Stations
Resists rotational torque during pressing operations via the dual-rod body, engaging the 600 N collet lock to freeze the 12 mm rod between cycles.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore model when an application demands symmetric 483 N both-way drive force at 0.7 MPa alongside a 600 N fail-safe hold. If your load requires less holding power, the BSED series does not offer a smaller bore; if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force. Always confirm your load is under 600 N.
Engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s for the transition. Because the 500 mm stroke is substantial, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent binding. When replacing, match the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, and your chosen mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need both symmetric force AND fail-safe hold?
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 600 N?
- ✓ Back-rod space for tooling/flag
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Support both rod ends; avoid side load.
- check Use BSED mounting (Basic/LB/FA/TC).
Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500 FAQ
The spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, delivering a 600 N static holding force with no live air. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops. Release it by applying pressure to the G1/8 port once both sides are balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s.
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 integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate 600 N static holding force. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
