The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X100S 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 2200 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø63mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED63X100S 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 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting tooling or flags and helps resist rotation.
This fail-safe collet lock delivers a 2200 N static holding force with no live air required. It engages only after the rod stops and releases when piston sides are pressure-balanced, taking at least 0.5 seconds. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port, while the cylinder ports are PT3/8. Equipped with a magnet, it supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic 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 BSED63X100S 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 | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 1962 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 200 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 2200 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 elevated machining jigs securely in place with 2200 N of static fail-safe force during air loss, while the double-rod design ensures equal 1962 N lifting and lowering forces.
Stops heavy pallets on conveyors using the equal both-way drive, then locks the rod instantly to prevent bounce-back, utilizing the rear rod for a cam flag.
Transfers clamping arms in both directions with identical 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa, engaging the spring-applied collet to hold position securely during E-stop events.
Select this 63mm bore model when your application demands both symmetric force and fail-safe holding up to 2200 N. If your load to hold is under 1400 N, step down to the 50mm bore (825 N drive @0.5 MPa, 1400 N hold). If you need more drive or holding capacity, step up to the 80mm bore (2268 N drive @0.5 MPa, 3600 N hold). Always engage the lock only after the rod stops and release it when both sides are pressure-balanced.
When replacing a unit, match the 100mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC). The integrated -S magnet enables position sensing. Because the stroke is 100mm, keep side-loads minimized by using external guides to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal in both directions: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa (max 200 kgf). The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N with no live air.
If air is lost or an E-stop trips, the spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, holding the load up to 2200 N. It is not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops. To release, apply air to the G1/8 release port after balancing pressure on both piston sides, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
