Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X600S
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X600S 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.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X600S
The AirTAC BSED40X600S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A Ø16 mm rod exits both ends, delivering equal drive force of 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or cams and naturally resists rotation.
This fail-safe collet lock provides a 900 N static holding force without requiring live air. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod is securely clamped at position. It engages only after the rod stops and releases via a dedicated G1/8 port when piston sides are pressure-balanced.
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 BSED40X600S 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 BSED40X600S Is Used
Overhead Lift Dwell
Holds a 900 N vertical load mid-air during E-stops while the 528 N both-way drive raises and lowers the payload smoothly.
Pallet Stop Gate
Uses the double-rod anti-rotation feature to present a stable stop block, with the fail-safe lock keeping the barrier rigid if air is lost.
Indexing Fixture
Symmetric 739 N force at 0.7 MPa pushes and pulls a machining fixture, while the collet locks the 600 mm stroke position during cutting.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X600S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore when an application requires symmetric 528 N both-way force alongside a 900 N static hold. If your load requires less holding capacity, step down to the 32 mm bore (345 N drive, 600 N hold). For heavier loads, step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N drive, 1400 N hold). Always verify your load stays under the 900 N limit.
With a 600 mm stroke, use a guide rail to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod seals. To release the lock safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. This configuration includes a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors, a PT1/4 cylinder port, and M12x1.25 rod threads.
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 BSED40X600S FAQ
The drive force is equal in both directions: 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa (max 75 kgf). The static fail-safe holding force of the integrated rod lock is 900 N.
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod immediately, providing up to 900 N of static hold with no live air. It is not a dynamic brake; you must engage it only after the rod stops, and release it via the G1/8 port after balancing pressure for at least 0.5 seconds.
