The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X700 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 to secure the rod with no live air.
This extruded aluminum body avoids external tie-rods for a clean ISO 15552 mounting interface. It features a 700 mm stroke, a PT1/8 cylinder port, and a separate G1/8 lock-release port. This SKU has no magnet, meaning position sensing via CMSE or DMSE sensors is not supported without a model change.
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 BSED32X700 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.

Holds a 600 N vertical load safely during air loss or E-stop, while the double-rod design provides equal 345 N lifting and lowering force at 0.5 MPa.
Drives a 700 mm stroke gate in both directions with identical 483 N force, using the rear rod for anti-rotation stability and the lock to secure it mid-cycle.
Clamps a 12 mm rod at any point along the 700 mm travel via the G1/8 release port, ensuring the payload stays fixed without relying on live air pressure.
Select this 32 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way drive and a fail-safe hold up to 600 N. If your load requires less holding force, step down is not an option as 32 mm is the smallest. If you need more force, the next bore up is 40 mm, offering 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 900 N holding force. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops and release it when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s.
At 700 mm stroke, the extended rod is susceptible to side-loading; use external guide rails to prevent binding and premature seal wear. Replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and your chosen mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet immediately engages to provide a 600 N static holding force, preventing the rod from moving. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must engage only after the rod stops. To release, apply pressure to the G1/8 port after balancing both piston sides, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
The double-rod design delivers 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. This drive force is separate from the 600 N static holding force of the lock.
