The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X175 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X175 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal drive force in both directions—about 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The internal collet delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 1400 N, clamping the rod securely whenever air pressure is lost.
This unit features a 175 mm stroke, a Ø20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread, and a PT1/4 cylinder port. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port and requires 0.15-0.7 MPa to disengage. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it does not support position sensing.
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 BSED50X175 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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC BSED datasheet. Rod thread M16×1.5 both ends. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 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 securely on air loss, while the double-rod resists rotation during guided lifts.
Provides 825 N both-way force to index and retract a stop gate, locking instantly when E-stops trip.
Uses the equal push and pull thrust of 1154 N at 0.7 MPa to form parts from both directions without stroke offset.
Select this 50 mm bore when you need 825 N of symmetric thrust both ways and a 1400 N fail-safe hold. If your load requires less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (528 N drive, 900 N hold); if you need more, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N drive, 2200 N hold). Always engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. For replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT port, and mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet engages instantly, providing a 1400 N static holding force to keep the rod at position. 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: 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa (max 118 kgf). The integrated rod lock adds a 1400 N static holding force.
