The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X1000 combines a double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder — a Ø20mm rod out BOTH ends for equal force both directions — with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK that holds up to 1400 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X1000 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, yielding equal drive force in both directions at 825 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 1400 N static holding force without requiring live air. If pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod clamps securely. It engages only after the rod stops and releases via the dedicated G1/8 port when piston sides are pressure-balanced, requiring at least 0.5 seconds.
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 BSED50X1000 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 | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 1155 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 118 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 1400 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Thread: PT (blank) / G. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Related: SED (double rod, no lock), BSE (single-rod rod lock). Sensors CMSE/DMSE fit magnetic BSED.
Lifts a 90 kg vertical platen with 825 N both-way force and holds it securely mid-air with the 1400 N fail-safe collet during an air loss event.
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place carriage at equal speeds and forces in both directions, using the rear exiting rod for a cam follower.
Positions a tooling head precisely along a 1000 mm travel and locks the 1400 N load immediately upon cylinder stop to prevent drift during operation.
Select this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa alongside a 1400 N static hold. If your load requires less force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N drive and 900 N holding; if you need more, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N drive and 2200 N holding. Always verify your load is under 1400 N for safe locking.
At 1000 mm stroke, use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding on the seals. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE position sensors cannot be used. To replace, match the 50 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and your mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways at 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 118 kgf. The separate static fail-safe holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 1400 N.
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod immediately, providing up to 1400 N of static holding force without live air. It is not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops. To release, apply pressure to the G1/8 port after balancing both piston sides, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
