The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X125S 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, 125mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X125S 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 drive force of 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while the fail-safe collet provides a 1400 N static holding force.
This 50 mm bore unit uses a PT1/4 cylinder port and a separate G1/8 lock-release port. The -S magnet option supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The lock engages only after the rod stops and requires pressure balance for safe release.
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 BSED50X125S 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 |

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.

Clamps workpieces with 825 N of equal both-way force, using the 1400 N fail-safe lock to hold position securely during sudden air pressure drops.
Raises and lowers loads with symmetric force, relying on the spring-applied collet to arrest vertical drift up to 1400 N when air is removed.
Uses the dual exiting rods to prevent rotation during transfer, engaging the 1400 N static hold to stabilize the payload at rest.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way force and a 1400 N fail-safe hold. If your load is lighter, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 900 N holding force. If heavier, step up to the 63 mm bore for 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 2200 N holding. Always verify your load is within 1400 N.
Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds. For this 125 mm stroke, ensure adequate guidance to prevent side-load wear. Replacement requires matching the 50 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT thread, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa and 1154 N @0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 118 kgf. The static fail-safe holding force of the lock is 1400 N with no live air.
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod automatically when air is lost, holding up to 1400 N. To release, apply pressure to the G1/8 release port only after both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
