The AirTAC BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X350S 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, 350mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X350S 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 force and speed in both directions—about 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod can carry a flag or cam while resisting rotation.
The fail-safe collet lock delivers a 1400 N static holding force with no live air required. It engages bidirectionally when air is lost or an E-stop trips, holding the load securely at position. A separate G1/8 release port controls the lock, and the operating pressure ceiling is 0.7 MPa.
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 BSED50X350S 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.

Holds a 1400 N vertical load securely during air loss, while the 825 N both-way drive cycles the lift platform smoothly at 0.5 MPa.
The double-rod design resists rotation for precise clamping, and the fail-safe lock maintains vise position when the 1154 N drive air is cut.
A rear-rod cam triggers position sensors, while the collet lock holds the stopper arm rigid against a 1400 N dynamic load without live air.
Select this 50 mm bore when you need both symmetric drive force and fail-safe holding. Verify your load to hold is 1400 N or less. If you need less holding power, step down to the 40 mm bore (528 N drive @0.5 MPa, 900 N hold). For heavier loads, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N drive @0.5 MPa, 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 seconds. At 350 mm stroke, use a guide rail to prevent side-load damage. Replacement must match the 50 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa (max 118 kgf). The separate static holding force of the spring-applied rod lock is 1400 N, which holds the load with no live air.
Release the lock only after the rod has stopped moving and both piston sides are pressure-balanced. Apply air to the G1/8 release port and allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage before driving the cylinder.
