Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X400S
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X400S 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, 400mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X400S
The AirTAC BSED63X400S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal thrust and speed in both directions—delivering 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod extension is ideal for mounting external flags or cams and naturally resists rotation.
This fail-safe collet lock delivers a 2200 N static holding force with no live air required, immediately clamping the 20 mm rod if pressure drops or an E-stop trips. The lock operates via a separate G1/8 release port, and the cylinder ports are PT3/8. Equipped with a magnet (-S), it supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise position feedback.
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 BSED63X400S 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.

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 BSED63X400S Is Used
Z-Axis Lift Stations
Holds a 150 kg vertical lift platform securely mid-stroke using the 2200 N fail-safe collet, preventing gravity drops during air loss while the double-rod balances lift speed.
Pallet Diverter Arms
Uses the equal 1962 N both-way force to push and retract a diverter gate across a conveyor, with the lock holding the arm extended during E-stops.
Component Press Fixtures
Applies symmetric clamping force from both rod ends to seat bearings, relying on the 2200 N static hold to maintain fixture pressure without continuous air.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X400S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63 mm bore model when your application demands symmetric 1962 N drive force alongside a 2200 N fail-safe holding capacity. If your load requires less force, the adjacent 50 mm bore provides 1154 N at 0.7 MPa with a 1400 N hold. If you need greater capacity, step up to the 80 mm bore, which yields 3175 N at 0.7 MPa and a 3600 N hold. Always verify your static load is under 2200 N and engage the lock only after the rod fully stops, allowing at least 0.5 s for pressure-balanced release.
For the 400 mm stroke, use a dedicated guide rail to prevent side loads from binding the rod and wearing the seals. Replacement units must match the 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and -S magnet option.
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 BSED63X400S FAQ
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 spring-applied rod lock provides a 2200 N static holding force with no live air required.
The lock is a static hold, not a dynamic brake. Engage it only after the rod stops. To release, ensure both piston sides are pressure-balanced and apply air to the separate G1/8 release port, allowing at least 0.5 s for the collet to open.
