The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X80 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, 80mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X80 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 and speed in both directions—about 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe collet lock provides 600 N of static holding force without requiring live air.
This unit features a 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, and a separate G1/8 lock-release port. It includes adjustable air cushions at both ends. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
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 BSED32X80 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.
Uses the 345 N equal both-way drive to push and pull a small fixture between stations, while the 600 N lock holds the tooling firmly during brief process pauses.
Lifts a 30 kg load equally in both directions; the spring-applied collet clamps the rod to prevent a drop if air pressure drops below 0.15 MPa.
Extends a rear-rod flag for cam tracking while providing identical 483 N drive force in both directions to operate a light pneumatic gate.
Choose this 32 mm bore model when you need symmetric both-way drive and a 600 N static hold. If your load exceeds 600 N, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 528 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N hold. If your load is lighter, the 32 mm is the smallest available bore. Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. For replacements, match the 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet engages immediately, providing a 600 N static holding force to keep the rod at its position. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod stops.
The double-rod design provides equal drive force both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa (max 49 kgf). The static holding force of the lock is 600 N. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
