The AirTAC BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED50X80S 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, 80mm stroke, PT1/4 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED50X80S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. Because a rod exits both ends, it generates equal drive force in both directions—about 825 N each way at 0.5 MPa—while resisting torsion. The rear rod is ideal for mounting external flags or cam rollers.
A separate G1/8 release port controls the fail-safe collet, delivering a 1400 N static holding force with zero live air. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the mechanism clamps the 20 mm rod instantly. Remember to engage the lock only after the rod stops and release it only when piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
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 BSED50X80S 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.

Lifts 118 kgf loads equally in both directions, engaging the 1400 N collet to prevent drops when air pressure is removed.
Halts moving pallets using symmetric double-rod thrust, locking the 20 mm rod instantly to hold position during transfers.
Mounts a tool on one end and a cam on the rear rod, utilizing equal 825 N force at 0.5 MPa for precise bidirectional indexing.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires symmetric thrust up to 1154 N at 0.7 MPa alongside a 1400 N fail-safe hold. If your load demands less force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N at 0.5 MPa and a 900 N hold; stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N holding capacity. Always verify your load is strictly below the 1400 N static limit, and never use the lock as a dynamic brake. For exact replacements, match the 80 mm stroke, PT1/4 cylinder port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet option for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal drive force both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 118 kgf. The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 1400 N with no live air.
The spring-applied collet clamps automatically on air loss. To release safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and apply air to the dedicated G1/8 release port. Always allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage before commanding cylinder motion.
