About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500S
The AirTAC BSED32X500S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force in both directions—about 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or anti-rotation tooling.
This fail-safe collet lock provides a 600 N static holding force without consuming live air. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod is securely clamped at position. It features a 500 mm stroke, a PT1/8 cylinder port, and a separate G1/8 lock-release port.
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 BSED32X500S 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.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 484 N |

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500S Is Used
Vertical Z-Axis Lifts
Secures a 500 mm vertical lift stage instantly upon air loss, utilizing the 600 N holding force to prevent gravity-driven drops while the 345 N both-way drive handles the balanced up/down motion.
Gripper Tooling Transfer
Moves a part over 500 mm using the rear exiting rod for cam tracking, relying on the equal both-way force for smooth acceleration and the fail-safe collet to lock position during loading.
Pallet Stop Gates
Actuates a pneumatic stop gate on a conveyor, using the 345 N symmetric force to extend and retract the 500 mm stroke, while the spring-applied lock holds the barrier rigid against impacts.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X500S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when an application demands symmetric 345 N both-way force alongside a 600 N fail-safe hold. If your load requires less holding capacity, the smaller 32 mm bore is the minimum available. For heavier demands, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 528 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force.
Always 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 seconds. Because the 500 mm stroke is long, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod. This replacement must match the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT thread, and -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
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 BSED32X500S FAQ
The integrated rod lock is spring-applied and air-released, so if air pressure drops, the collet immediately clamps the rod. It provides a 600 N static holding force to keep the load in place without any live air, functioning as a fail-safe hold rather than a dynamic brake.
The double-rod design provides equal 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. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and the operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
