The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X80S 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 BSED32X80S 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 drive force of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The bidirectional collet lock provides a 600 N static holding force with zero live air required.
This 32 mm bore unit includes a -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors, adjustable air cushions at both ends, and a separate G1/8 release port. The lock engages only after the rod stops and releases when piston sides are pressure-balanced, requiring at least 0.5 seconds to transition safely.
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 BSED32X80S 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.

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 mid-stroke vertical gate securely with 600 N of fail-safe force during an E-stop, while the double rod provides equal 345 N lifting and lowering drive.
Uses the rear rod extension for a flag cam to trigger DMSE sensors, ensuring precise 80 mm strokes with symmetric force for balanced tooling mass.
Snags incoming pallets on a conveyor and locks position instantly on air loss, preventing drift while the 12 mm rod resists rotational torque.
Select this 32 mm bore model when your application requires symmetric both-way force and a 600 N fail-safe hold. If your load exceeds 600 N, step up to the 40 mm bore, which provides 528 N both-way drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N holding force. If you need less holding capacity, the BSED series does not offer a smaller bore, making 32 mm the minimum. Always ensure the load is stopped before engaging the lock, and allow at least 0.5 seconds for the release cycle after balancing piston pressures. For replacements, match the 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, and your chosen mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet instantly clamps the rod, providing a 600 N static holding force to prevent movement. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod has stopped.
The BSED32X80S delivers equal both-way drive force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa (max 49 kgf). The static holding force is 600 N, and the operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
