The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED32X900 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, 900mm stroke, PT1/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED32X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal drive force of 345 N each way at 0.5 MPa and a maximum of 483 N at 0.7 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel has no external tie rods, ensuring a clean ISO 15552 mounting interface.
This unit delivers a 600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air required. The 900 mm stroke exceeds the 700 mm standard maximum, making this a made-to-order unit. It uses a PT1/8 cylinder port, a separate G1/8 lock-release port, and lacks a magnet (-S) for position sensing. The spring-loaded collet engages only after the rod stops, functioning as a static hold rather than a dynamic brake.
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 BSED32X900 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.

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 without live air during an intermediate process pause, while the double-rod provides equal lifting and lowering speed.
Uses the 483 N equal both-way drive to push a shuttle, then engages the fail-safe collet to hold position securely during workpiece transfer.
Clamps a part from both directions with identical 345 N force at 0.5 MPa, using the rear rod for a flag cam while the lock holds the assembly steady.
Select this 32 mm bore double-rod cylinder when an application requires symmetric pushing and pulling force alongside a fail-safe mid-stroke hold of up to 600 N. If your load requires less holding or drive force, the adjacent bores are unavailable below 32 mm, so this is the smallest option. If you need more force, stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 528 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and 900 N holding force.
Because the 900 mm stroke is non-standard and exceeds the 700 mm maximum, carefully evaluate side loads. Use external guide rails to prevent rod binding over this extended travel. To release the lock safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. When replacing, match the 32 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT thread, and basic mounting style.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal drive force in both directions: 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa (max 49 kgf). The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 600 N with no live air.
The rod lock is a spring-applied, air-released collet that acts as a static hold, not a dynamic brake. You must engage it only after the rod completely stops. For vertical or man-rated loads, always use safety-rated controls, as the 600 N lock prevents drift but is not a rated safety brake.
