The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED63X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED63X700 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 drive force of 1402 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel contains no external tie rods, ensuring a clean ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The fail-safe collet lock provides a 2200 N static holding force in both directions without requiring live air. It uses a separate G1/8 release port, and the cylinder port is PT3/8. This unit has no position magnet, so it operates without CMSE or DMSE 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 BSED63X700 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.

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.

Uses the equal 1962 N both-way force to position a weld head, while the 2200 N lock holds the head precisely in place during the weld cycle to prevent deflection.
The rear rod supports a cam for external tracking, and the spring-applied collet clamps the load safely if air pressure drops below the 0.15 MPa threshold.
A rod extends through both ends to mount dual stop flags, using the 1402 N drive at 0.5 MPa to index and the fail-safe lock to hold heavy pallets.
Select this 63 mm bore model when your application needs symmetric push and pull forces alongside a 2200 N fail-safe hold. If your load exceeds 2200 N, step up to the 80 mm bore, which offers 3175 N drive force at 0.7 MPa and a 3600 N hold. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore provides 1154 N drive and a 1400 N hold. Always verify your actual load is under the 2200 N limit.
Because the 700 mm stroke is long, use a guide to prevent side loads from damaging the seals. The lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops moving. Release the lock only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds for the transition.
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet clamps the rod immediately, providing a 2200 N static holding force in both directions without any live air. It is a static lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod stops moving.
The BSED63X700 delivers equal drive force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa (max 200 kgf) both ways. The static holding force of the lock is 2200 N. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s, operating pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa, and the lock-release port is G1/8.
