The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X75 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, 75mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X75 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 in both directions—about 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe collet clamps the rod bidirectionally, providing a 1400 N static holding force with no live air required.
This extruded aluminum profile body has no external tie rods and uses a PT1/4 cylinder port alongside a dedicated G1/8 lock-release port. The lock engages only after the rod stops and releases when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, requiring at least 0.5 seconds. This specific SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot use CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
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 BSED50X75 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 vertical lift jigs securely in place with 1400 N of fail-safe holding force during an air loss event, while the 825 N equal both-way drive ensures smooth up and down motion.
Provides rigid anti-rotation tooling mounts via the rear rod for machining stops, locking the 1154 N drive force instantly when E-stop is triggered.
Actuates a pallet diverter with equal force both ways, using the spring-applied collet to prevent drift and hold position without continuous air supply.
Select this 50 mm bore when you need both symmetric drive and fail-safe holding up to 1400 N. If your load exceeds 1400 N, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N drive at 0.5 MPa, 2200 N holding). If you need less force, step down to the 40 mm bore (528 N drive at 0.5 MPa, 900 N holding). Always verify the load to hold is under 1400 N and engage the lock only after the rod stops. For replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and basic mounting.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet engages automatically, providing a 1400 N bidirectional static holding force to keep the rod at its current position. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must engage only after the rod stops moving.
The drive force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa (max 118 kgf). To release the 1400 N lock safely, apply pressure to the G1/8 release port only after both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage.
