The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X100S combines a double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder — a Ø25mm rod out BOTH ends for equal force both directions — with an integrated spring-applied, air-released ROD LOCK that holds up to 3600 N in either direction if air is lost. Ø80mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED80X100S 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 of 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting cams or flags and naturally resists rotation.
This unit delivers a bidirectional fail-safe static holding force of 3600 N. If air pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the collet clamps the rod to hold the load securely with no live air. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, PT3/8 cylinder ports, and a dedicated G1/8 lock-release port. The -S magnet enables position detection with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic 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 BSED80X100S 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.

| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 3175 N |
| Max drive (@0.7 MPa) | 324 kgf |
A rod exits both ends, so force is equal on extend and retract. Drive force is separate from the 3600 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Lifts payloads with 3175 N of equal both-way force and secures them safely mid-stroke with the 3600 N fail-safe collet if air pressure is lost.
Halts heavy pallet traffic using symmetric double-rod action, locking the 25 mm rod instantly during an E-stop to prevent rollback.
Uses the rear rod for anti-rotation tooling flags while the front rod provides 2268 N of consistent clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Select this 80 mm bore when an application requires both symmetric thrust and reliable braking. Verify your load requires holding up to 3600 N and drive force up to 324 kgf. If you need less force, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold. Stepping up to the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold.
Always engage the lock only after the rod stops completely, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s for the transition. Ensure exact replacement matching by verifying the 100 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and -S magnet option. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, add external guide rails to manage side loads.
Quick checklist
The integrated spring-applied collet engages automatically, providing a 3600 N static holding force to keep the rod locked in place. It is a fail-safe hold, not a dynamic brake, so it must only engage after the rod has stopped moving.
The double-rod design provides equal drive force in both directions: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive force of 324 kgf. This drive force is separate from the 3600 N static holding force of the lock.
