The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X600S 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, 600mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED63X600S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring 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—making it ideal for symmetrical tooling or rear-rod cam actuation. The rear rod also enhances stability and resists rotation.
This fail-safe collet lock provides a 2200 N static holding force without requiring live air. If pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod is securely clamped at position. It is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops and release it when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
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 BSED63X600S 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.
Uses the 1962 N both-way drive to raise heavy platens, engaging the 2200 N fail-safe collet lock to secure the load mechanically during air loss or E-stops.
Exploits the double-rod design to mount a workpiece clamp on the front and a proximity flag on the rear, ensuring equal 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa both ways.
Relies on the 2200 N static hold to keep heavy conveyor gates locked open during passage, releasing only when 0.15-0.7 MPa air balances both piston sides.
Select this 63 mm bore when your application demands both symmetric drive force and mid-stroke fail-safe holding. Verify your load does not exceed the 2200 N static holding force. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore offers 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1400 N holding force. If you need more, step up to the 80 mm bore, which provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3600 N holding force. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
For a direct replacement, match the 600 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, G1/8 release port, and your preferred mounting (Basic, LB, FA, or TC). This unit includes the -S magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors. Because the 600 mm stroke is long, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
Quick checklist
The 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 separate bidirectional static holding force of 2200 N with no live air.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released via the G1/8 port. You must release it only after the rod has stopped moving and both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage.
