The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X700 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force and speed in both directions—about 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe collet clamp provides a 1400 N static holding force to secure the rod with no live air.
This extruded aluminum profile body has no external tie rods and uses a separate G1/8 release port. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it does not support CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The 700 mm stroke requires an external guide to manage side loads and prevent binding.
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 BSED50X700 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 vertical lift stage securely mid-travel with 1400 N of fail-safe force, preventing a 118 kgf dynamic load from dropping when air pressure is lost.
Uses the equal 825 N both-way drive at 0.5 MPa to push and pull a shuttle identically, while the rear rod mounts a flag for end-of-travel signaling.
Locks a 700 mm stroke workpiece carrier at a precise machining coordinate with no live air, ensuring the collet holds without pneumatic pressure.
Select this 50 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way drive and a fail-safe hold up to 1400 N. If your load exceeds 1400 N, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N at 0.5 MPa drive, 2200 N holding force). If you need less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (528 N at 0.5 MPa drive, 900 N holding force).
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 this 700 mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent side-load wear. Replacement requires matching the 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and Basic/LB/FA/TC mounting.
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 static fail-safe holding force of the rod lock is 1400 N. The lock holds the load with no live air, but is not a dynamic brake.
Release the lock only after the rod has stopped moving and both piston sides are pressure-balanced. Apply air to the separate G1/8 release port and allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage before commanding motion.
