The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED40X600 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 and speed in both directions—528 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod can carry tooling or a flag cam and resists rotation.
This unit provides a bidirectional fail-safe holding force of 900 N with no live air required. If pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the collet clamps the rod to maintain position. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, and operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa. This SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is not supported.
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 BSED40X600 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.
| 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.

Holds a 900 N vertical load mid-stroke if air is lost, while the 739 N both-way drive raises and lowers the assembly.
The double-rod extends and retracts a stopper blade at equal speed, locking the 16mm rod instantly on E-stop.
Rear-rod end mounts a flag cam for synchronized timing, while the front rod shifts 600mm strokes with matched force.
Select this 40mm bore when an application requires symmetric 739 N drive force alongside fail-safe holding up to 900 N. If your load exceeds 900 N, step up to the 50mm bore (1154 N drive, 1400 N hold). If you need less force, step down to the 32mm bore (483 N drive, 600 N hold). Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds. With a 600mm stroke, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent binding. Replacement matches require PT1/4 ports, 16mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, and 30mm cushions.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet clamps engages immediately, providing a 900 N static holding force to keep the rod at position. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must engage only after the rod stops moving.
The double-rod design delivers equal force both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 75 kgf. The separate fail-safe rod lock provides a 900 N static holding force.
