The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X300S 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X300S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal drive force of 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa and resisting rotation. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or cams.
This fail-safe collet mechanism delivers a 1400 N static holding force without consuming live air. If pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod clamps immediately. It uses a dedicated G1/8 release port, while the main cylinder ports are PT1/4. The -S magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise position feedback.
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 BSED50X300S 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.

Raises and lowers access gates with 825 N equal both-way force. The 1400 N fail-safe lock holds the gate securely in mid-air during an air pressure loss.
Clamps parts from both directions using the double-rod design. The rear rod carries a cam for sensor tracking while the 1400 N lock resists machining vibration.
Halts moving pallets on a line with symmetric push and pull capability. The spring-applied collet locks the stop pin instantly if the main air supply fails.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires 825 N of symmetric thrust alongside a 1400 N static hold. If your load needs less force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N drive and 900 N holding force. For heavier loads, step up to the 63 mm bore, providing 1402 N drive and 2200 N holding force. Always verify your load is under 1400 N.
Engage the lock only after the rod stops completely, and release it only when piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. Because the stroke is 300 mm, use a guide to prevent excessive side-loading on the extended rod. For replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal in both directions at 825 N @0.5 MPa and 1154 N @0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 118 kgf. The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 1400 N with no live air required.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released via a dedicated G1/8 port. To release safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced, apply 0.15-0.7 MPa to the release port, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before moving the rod. Never use it as a dynamic brake.
