The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X100S 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, 100mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X100S 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 for symmetric pushing and pulling. It provides a drive force of 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa.
The fail-safe collet lock delivers a 1400 N static holding force without requiring live air, securing the load instantly if pressure drops. The rear rod can mount a cam or flag for position feedback while resisting rotation. A separate G1/8 release port controls the lock, and the included magnetic piston 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 BSED50X100S 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.
Holds a 1400 N vertical load safely during air loss while providing 1154 N of equal lifting and lowering force for balanced vertical positioning.
Double-rod design allows rear-rod mounting of a cam flag to trigger sensors, while the front rod delivers 825 N of bidirectional clamping pressure at 0.5 MPa.
Spring-applied collet locks the conveyor stopper at 100mm stroke during E-stop events, preventing drift without relying on continuous air supply.
Select this 50mm bore model when your application requires both symmetric drive force and intermediate fail-safe holding. Verify your load is strictly under the 1400 N static holding limit. If you need less force, the 40mm bore offers 528 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N hold. For heavier loads, step up to the 63mm bore, providing 1402 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold.
Always 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 seconds for the transition. This BSED50X100S includes the -S magnet option, uses a PT1/4 cylinder port, and features a 100mm stroke. Maintain proper guide support to prevent side loads.
Quick checklist
If air is lost or an E-stop trips, the spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 1400 N bidirectional static holding force. The lock is a holding device, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod stops moving.
The BSED50X100S delivers an equal drive force of 825 N both ways at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 118 kgf. The fail-safe rod lock provides a separate 1400 N static holding force with no live air required.
