The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X75S 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 BSED50X75S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal drive force of 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric design is ideal for carrying rear-rod tooling or flags while resisting rotation.
The fail-safe collet lock provides a 1400 N static holding force with no live air required. It engages bidirectionally if pressure drops or an E-stop trips. A separate G1/8 release port manages the unlock function, while adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impacts. The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches.
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 BSED50X75S 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.

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 workpiece securely during machining, using the equal 825 N both-way force to position clamps from either end without rotation.
Lifts pallets with 1154 N of symmetric drive force and engages the fail-safe collet lock to prevent dropping if shop air pressure suddenly drops.
Uses the rear exiting rod for a cam flag while providing 825 N of equal push/pull force to transfer parts, locking safely during station dwells.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires both symmetric 1154 N drive force at 0.7 MPa and a 1400 N fail-safe hold. If your load demands less force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N drive and 900 N holding. For heavier loads, step up to the 63 mm bore, which provides 1402 N drive and 2200 N holding. Always verify your static load is 1400 N or less.
Engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s for the transition. To replace this unit, match the 75 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and your specific mounting choice from Basic, LB, FA, or TC.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 1400 N static holding force to keep the load in place without live air. It is a fail-safe static hold, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod stops.
The double-rod design provides equal drive force in both directions: 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 118 kgf. This drive force is separate from the 1400 N static holding force of the rod lock.
