The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X350S 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, 350mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED40X350S 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—about 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or anti-rotation tooling.
This fail-safe collet lock provides a 900 N static holding force with no live air required. It engages only after the rod stops and releases via a separate G1/8 port when piston sides are pressure-balanced. The -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise position feedback.
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 BSED40X350S 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 900 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Holds a 900 N vertical load safely in place during air loss, while the 528 N both-way drive smoothly raises and lowers the 350 mm stroke platform.
Uses the double-rod design to push and pull a workpiece with equal 528 N force, engaging the fail-safe lock to secure the part mid-transfer.
Clamps a part using the rear rod for tooling while the 900 N collet lock resists machining vibration, keeping the 350 mm extension rigidly fixed.
Select this 40 mm bore when an application requires both symmetric drive and 900 N static holding. If your load needs less force, the 32 mm bore offers 345 N drive at 0.5 MPa and 600 N holding. For heavier loads, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N drive and 1400 N holding. Always confirm your load is under 900 N before relying on the lock.
With a 350 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side-loading and protect the seal package. To release the lock safely, ensure both cylinder sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. Replacement matches require the 40 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways at 528 N @0.5 MPa and 739 N @0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 75 kgf. The static fail-safe holding force of the rod lock is 900 N.
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod immediately, providing up to 900 N of static holding force without live air. It is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops, and release it via the G1/8 port after balancing piston pressure for at least 0.5 seconds.
