Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160S
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160S 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 BSED63X160S
The AirTAC BSED63X160S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force in both directions—about 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The collet lock provides a 2200 N bidirectional static holding force.
This extruded aluminum body has no external tie rods and features a PT3/8 cylinder port, a Ø20 mm rod, and an M16x1.5 rod-end thread. The lock uses a separate G1/8 release port. The -S magnet option supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
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 BSED63X160S 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 BSED63X160S Is Used
Vertical Lift Jigs
Holds a 200 kgf vertical lift jig safely in place during an air pressure drop, using the 2200 N fail-safe collet lock.
Shuttle Transfer Unit
Uses the equal 1962 N both-way drive to push and pull a shuttle carriage with identical speed and force.
Machining Station Stop
Clamps a workpiece stop firmly mid-stroke via the rear rod flag while the front rod cycles the tooling.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X160S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63 mm bore when you need symmetric 1962 N drive force at 0.7 MPa alongside a 2200 N fail-safe hold. If your load requires less force, the 50 mm bore offers 1154 N drive and 1400 N holding. If you need more, step up to the 80 mm bore for 3175 N drive and 3600 N holding.
Ensure the load to hold is under 2200 N. Engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT thread, and -S magnet.
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 BSED63X160S FAQ
The spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a 2200 N bidirectional static hold with no live air. It is a fail-safe holding lock, not a dynamic brake, so engage it only after the rod stops.
The drive force is equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 200 kgf. The separate static holding force of the lock is 2200 N.
