The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X600S 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X600S 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 1154 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting external tooling or position flags while resisting rotational torque.
This unit delivers a bidirectional static holding force of 1400 N. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the collet clamps the 20 mm rod instantly, maintaining position without live air. The lock uses a dedicated G1/8 release port and engages only after the rod stops, distinguishing it from a dynamic brake.
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 BSED50X600S 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.

Lifts 118 kgf at 0.7 MPa symmetrically and locks the 20 mm rod with 1400 N of force to prevent drops during air loss.
Uses the dual rods for equal push and pull to halt 600 mm pallet travel, locking instantly via the G1/8 port during E-stops.
Holds the workpiece securely at variable positions with 1400 N static force, absorbing machining stress without live air.
Select this 50 mm bore when your application requires symmetric both-way force and a fail-safe hold up to 1400 N. If you need less force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N hold; for heavier loads, the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold. Ensure your load stays under the 1400 N limit during vertical holds.
At 600 mm stroke, use a guide to prevent side loads from stressing the rod seals. To release the lock safely, pressure-balance both piston sides and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. Replacement parts must match the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, and -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 1400 N static holding force to maintain position without live air. It is a static lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must engage only after the rod stops moving.
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 118 kgf. The static holding force of the lock is 1400 N, and the operating speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
