Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X160
The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X160 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, 160mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.

About the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X160
The AirTAC BSED80X160 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 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The ISO 15552 extruded aluminum barrel provides a clean, tie-rod-free exterior for exacting dimensional interchangeability.
This fail-safe collet lock provides a 3600 N static holding force with zero live air required. It engages bidirectionally when air is lost or an E-stop is activated, securely holding the load rather than acting as a dynamic brake. The lock releases via a dedicated G1/8 port, requiring both piston sides to be pressure-balanced for at least 0.5 seconds before motion resumes.
Double Rod + 3600 N Rod Lock (Ø80mm)
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 BSED80X160 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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Force (both directions) |
|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X160 Is Used
Vertical Machining Spindle Lift
Holds a 3000 N vertical spindle stage securely during an air-pressure drop, using the 3600 N fail-safe lock while the double-rod equal 3175 N drive raises and lowers the head.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Uses the equal both-way drive to push and retract a 80 mm stop gate, engaging the 3600 N collet lock to hold heavy pallets in place without consuming continuous air.
Symmetric Press Tooling
Drives a forming tool from both ends with identical 2268 N force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the rear rod for anti-rotation while the collet locks the tool precisely mid-stroke.
Is the Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X160 the Right Cylinder?
Select the BSED80X160 when your application requires symmetric both-way drive combined with mid-heavy fail-safe holding. Verify your static load does not exceed the 3600 N holding force. If you need less force, step down to the 63 mm bore (1402 N drive @0.5 MPa, 2200 N hold); for heavier loads, step up to the 100 mm bore (3681 N drive @0.5 MPa, 5500 N hold).
Always engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when both sides are pressure-balanced. This SKU has no -S magnet, so position sensing via CMSE or DMSE sensors is not supported on this specific unit. When replacing, match the 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and your chosen mounting accessory (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need both symmetric force AND fail-safe hold?
- ✓ Load to hold ≤ 3600 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 BSED80X160 FAQ
The integrated spring-applied collet immediately clamps the rod, providing a bidirectional static holding force of 3600 N with no live air. It is a fail-safe holding lock, not a dynamic brake, so it must only be engaged after the rod has stopped moving.
The BSED80X160 delivers an equal drive force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa (max 324 kgf) in both directions. The static holding force of the lock is 3600 N. Operating pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa, and the speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
