The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X600 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. It provides a drive force of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa.
The fail-safe collet mechanism delivers a 600 N static holding force with no live air required, securely locking the rod if pressure drops. This unit features a 12 mm rod, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, PT1/8 cylinder port, and a separate G1/8 lock-release port. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE position sensors cannot be used.
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 BSED32X600 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 load at 0.5 MPa with 345 N both-way force, engaging the 600 N fail-safe collet to prevent drops during an E-stop.
Uses the dual rods to push and retract a stop blade at equal speed, locking instantly with 600 N if air pressure is lost mid-cycle.
Moves light 12 mm rod tooling symmetrically, relying on the rear rod for anti-rotation while the spring-applied lock secures the jig during loading.
Select this 32 mm bore when your application needs symmetric both-way force and fail-safe holding up to 600 N. If you need less holding capacity, there is no smaller BSED bore. If you require more force, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa drive force 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 s for the transition. For this 600 mm stroke, ensure external guides are used to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod. Replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port, and mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet engages immediately, providing a bidirectional 600 N static holding force to keep the rod at its position without live air. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod stops moving.
The double-rod drive force is equal both ways at 345 N (0.5 MPa) and 483 N (0.7 MPa), with a maximum drive of 49 kgf. The integrated static holding force of the lock is 600 N. Release requires balancing both piston sides and allowing at least 0.5 s.
