The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X50S 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X50S 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 in both directions—about 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe collet lock provides a 600 N static holding force, clamping the rod securely during air loss or E-stop events.
This 32 mm bore unit features a PT1/8 cylinder port, a separate G1/8 lock-release port, and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. The -S magnet option enables position detection with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa, and the lock engages only after the rod stops, requiring balanced pressure for release.
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 BSED32X50S 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.

Uses the 345 N equal both-way drive force to shuttle small parts, while the 600 N fail-safe lock prevents the 12 mm rod from drifting if compressed air is suddenly lost mid-cycle.
Lifts light platens symmetrically using both rods; the spring-applied collet engages to hold the load safely at height without relying on live air pressure.
The rear rod resists torsional twist and can carry a flag or cam, while the integrated lock holds the 50 mm stroke position securely during machine pauses.
Select the BSED32X50S when an application demands symmetric both-way drive force and immediate fail-safe holding without live air. Verify your static load does not exceed the 600 N holding force. If you need less drive force, there is no smaller BSED bore; if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore, which offers 528 N at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force.
Always engage the lock only after the piston stops moving, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the transition. When replacing, match the 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, Basic/LB/FA/TC mounting, and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied, air-released collet instantly clamps the rod, providing a 600 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is a holding brake, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod stops moving.
The double-rod design delivers equal force both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 49 kgf. To release the 600 N lock safely, pressure-balance both piston sides and apply air to the G1/8 release port, waiting at least 0.5 seconds before moving.
