The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X250 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, 250mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED80X250 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. This symmetric design is ideal for mounting rear-rod tooling or flags while resisting rotation.
The integrated collet lock delivers a 3600 N bidirectional static holding force with no live air required. It engages automatically if air pressure drops, securing the load. The lock operates via a separate G1/8 release port, and the cylinder features adjustable air cushions at both ends (36 mm cushion length) to absorb impact. Note this SKU ships without a magnet (-S), so it does not support CMSE or DMSE position 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 BSED80X250 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.

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.
Holds elevated platens securely against gravity with 3600 N of fail-safe force, engaging instantly if air pressure drops during a vertical lift cycle.
Uses the equal 3175 N both-way force to actuate cutting or clamping tools on both strokes, with the rear rod available for cam-triggered sequencing.
Locks the extended stop pin in place to halt heavy conveyor pallets, maintaining a rigid 3600 N barrier without wasting continuous compressed air.
Select this 80 mm bore cylinder when your application requires both symmetric force (3175 N at 0.7 MPa) and a fail-safe hold up to 3600 N. If your load requires less force, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold; for heavier loads, the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. Always verify your static load is within the 3600 N holding limit.
The rod lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops moving, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds. For this 250 mm stroke, ensure adequate guide support to prevent side loads from damaging the seals. Replacement matches require the 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and your specific mounting choice (Basic, LB, FA, or TC).
Quick checklist
The spring-applied collet lock engages automatically, providing a 3600 N bidirectional static hold to keep the rod at its current position. It is a fail-safe lock, not a dynamic brake, so it only holds after the rod has stopped moving.
The double-rod design provides equal force in both directions: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa (max 324 kgf). This drive force is separate from the 3600 N static holding force of the rod lock, which holds the load with no live air.
