The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED40X800S 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, 800mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED40X800S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force and speed in both directions—yielding about 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel provides ISO 15552 dimensional interchangeability without external tie rods.
The fail-safe collet lock provides a 900 N static holding force with no live air required. A separate G1/8 release port controls the lock, which must only engage after the rod stops and release when both piston sides are pressure-balanced (allow >=0.5 s). The -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
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 BSED40X800S 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.

|---|---|
| 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.

Provides 739 N of equal both-way force for raising and lowering heavy platens, while the 900 N spring-applied lock holds the load safely if air pressure drops.
The double-rod design allows a rear rod to mount a flag cam for position feedback, while the collet lock securely halts the 800mm stroke mid-travel with zero live air.
Equal force both ways enables precise bidirectional machining or clamping, with the fail-safe lock preventing drift during emergency stops.
Select this 40mm bore when an application requires 739 N of both-way drive force at 0.7 MPa alongside a 900 N fail-safe hold. If your load exceeds 900 N, step up to the 50mm bore (1154 N drive, 1400 N hold). If you need less force, the 32mm bore offers 483 N drive and 600 N hold. At 800mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent side-load binding. Always engage the lock only after the rod stops. Replacement match: 40mm bore, 800mm stroke, PT1/4 port, magnet, Basic/LB/FA/TC mount.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 900 N static holding force with no live air. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
The double-rod design delivers equal force both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 739 N at 0.7 MPa (max 75 kgf). The separate static holding force of the lock is 900 N.
