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.
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.
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.
| 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.

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 a 2200 N vertical load safely during air loss or E-stop, while the 1962 N both-way drive manages the lift cycle.
Clamps a mid-stroke position securely on an extruded profile body, with equal 1402 N force for advance and retract at 0.5 MPa.
Uses the rear rod for a return cam while the front rod pushes, ensuring symmetric speed and force for shuttle operations.
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
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.
