The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X175 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, 175mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED63X175 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 each direction—delivering 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa (maximum 200 kgf). The integrated collet lock provides a bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N without requiring live air.
This unit utilizes a separate G1/8 lock-release port to disengage the collet, operating distinctly from the adjustable air cushions at both ends. The extruded aluminum barrel conforms to ISO 15552 dimensional interchangeability without external tie rods. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it is not compatible with CMSE or DMSE position 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 BSED63X175 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.

Clamps a workpiece with 1962 N of equal both-way force, while the 2200 N rod lock holds the fixture rigidly in place during cutting operations if air pressure drops.
Raises and lowers a 150 kg platform with symmetric speed, relying on the fail-safe collet to prevent uncontrolled descent when the machine enters an E-stop state.
Uses the rear rod end to mount a cam flag for position signaling, while the front rod pushes pallets with 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and locks securely during indexing delays.
Select this 63 mm bore model when your application requires symmetric both-way force and a fail-safe hold up to 2200 N. If your load demands less force, the adjacent 50 mm bore offers 825 N at 0.5 MPa and a 1400 N hold; if you need more power, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and a 3600 N hold. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa. To release the lock safely, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and allow at least 0.5 seconds before moving. When ordering a replacement, verify the 175 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The drive force is equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa (maximum 200 kgf). The static fail-safe holding force of the integrated rod lock is 2200 N. Remember that the drive force moves the load, while the holding force keeps it stationary with no live air.
The lock is a spring-applied, air-released collet, not a dynamic brake. You must engage it only after the rod completely stops. To release it, apply pressure to the separate G1/8 release port, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced, and wait at least 0.5 seconds before commanding motion.
