Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X100S
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X100S combines a double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder — a Ø16mm rod out BOTH ends for equal force both directions — with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK that holds up to 900 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø40mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X100S
The AirTAC BSED40X100S 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 in both directions—528 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel provides ISO 15552 dimensional interchangeability without external tie rods.
This fail-safe collet lock delivers a 900 N static holding force with no live air required. It engages bidirectionally to secure the load if air pressure drops or an E-stop trips. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, and the -S suffix indicates a magnetic piston ready for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Double Rod + 900 N Rod Lock (Ø40mm)
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 BSED40X100S 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 M12×1.25 both ends. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 739 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 75 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 900 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X100S Is Used
Mid-Force Pick-and-Place
Uses the 739 N equal both-way drive to shuttle a 75 kgf fixture, while the 900 N fail-safe collet locks the 16 mm rod instantly if air pressure drops mid-cycle.
Vertical Lift Holding
Lifts a light vertical load with symmetric force, engaging the 900 N spring-applied lock to prevent gravity-driven drops when the system is at rest.
Anti-Rotation Gauging
The dual-rod design resists mechanical torsion, while the rear rod carries a flag for position verification. The lock holds the 100 mm stroke rigid during inspection.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X100S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore model when your application requires symmetric both-way force and mid-range fail-safe holding up to 900 N. If your load exceeds 900 N, step up to the 50 mm bore, which offers 825 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. If you need less holding capacity, the 32 mm bore provides 345 N drive at 0.5 MPa and 600 N holding force.
Remember the lock is not a dynamic brake: engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds. When replacing, match the 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and your chosen mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need both symmetric force AND fail-safe hold?
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 900 N?
- ✓ Back-rod space for tooling/flag
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Support both rod ends; avoid side load.
- check Use BSED mounting (Basic/LB/FA/TC).
Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X100S FAQ
The double-rod drive force is equal both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa (max 75 kgf). The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate 900 N static holding force with no live air required.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released via a dedicated G1/8 port. It is not a dynamic brake, so you must engage it only after the rod stops. To release, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage.
