Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160 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, 160mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160
The AirTAC BSED63X160 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 in both directions—about 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa—while resisting rotation and allowing rear-end tool mounting.
The fail-safe collet lock delivers a 2200 N static holding force with no live air required. It is a static hold, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced (allow >=0.5 s). This SKU has no magnet, so position sensing is unavailable.
Double Rod + 2200 N Rod Lock (Ø63mm)
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 BSED63X160 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160 Is Used
Overhead Lifts
Holds a 2200 N vertical load safely during air loss or E-stop, while the 1962 N both-way drive manages the lift cycle.
Machining Stops
Clamps a mid-stroke position securely on an extruded profile body, with equal 1402 N force for advance and retract at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Transfer
Uses the rear rod for a return cam while the front rod pushes, ensuring symmetric speed and force for shuttle operations.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63 mm bore when an application demands both symmetric force and fail-safe holding up to 2200 N. If your load requires less force, step down to the 50 mm bore (825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1400 N hold); if you need more, step up to the 80 mm bore (2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3600 N hold). Always verify your load is <=2200 N. To replace, match the 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need both symmetric force AND fail-safe hold?
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 2200 N?
- ✓ Back-rod space for tooling/flag
- ✓ Lock engaged only when stopped
- ✓ G1/8 release-air line available
Installation & Safety Notes
- check Engage the lock only after the rod has stopped — not a dynamic brake.
- check Release only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced.
- check Allow ≥0.5 s for full release before commanding motion.
- check Feed the G1/8 release port with 0.15–0.7 MPa clean air.
- check Support both rod ends; avoid side load.
- check Use BSED mounting (Basic/LB/FA/TC).
Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160 FAQ
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod instantly, providing a 2200 N bidirectional static hold. It is a holding lock, not a dynamic brake, so it engages only after the rod stops.
Drive force is equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa (max 200 kgf). The fail-safe rod lock provides a 2200 N static holding force.
