The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X75 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, 75mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED40X75 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. Because the annulus area is identical on both sides, it delivers an equal drive force of 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa. A rod exits both ends, allowing the rear extension to mount a flag or cam while resisting rotational torque.
The fail-safe collet lock provides a 900 N static holding force with no live air required. If pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod is securely clamped at position. This unit has no magnet (no -S suffix), meaning position sensing via CMSE or DMSE sensors is not supported on this specific SKU.
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 BSED40X75 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 securely in place during air loss, while the equal 739 N both-way drive ensures consistent up and down transfer speeds.
Drives a dual-ended tooling arm with identical 528 N force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, locking the 75 mm stroke precisely during station dwells.
Provides a stable 900 N static clamp for light machining operations, utilizing the rear rod for external cam tracking without rotational drift.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires both symmetric bi-directional force and mid-stroke fail-safe holding up to 900 N. If your load is lighter, the adjacent 32 mm bore offers 345 N at 0.5 MPa and a 600 N hold; if you need more power, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 825 N at 0.5 MPa and a 1400 N hold. Always verify your load stays within the 900 N static limit.
Engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s for the transition. This is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake. For exact replacements, match the 75 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and your required mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet engages instantly, providing a 900 N static holding force to keep the rod at its current position. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod has stopped moving.
The double-rod design yields equal drive force both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 75 kgf. This is separate from the 900 N static holding force of the rod lock.
