The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X25S 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, 25mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED80X25S 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 force and speed in both directions—about 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod can carry a flag or cam and resists rotation.
A collet clamps the rod with a bidirectional static holding force of 3600 N, maintaining position with no live air if pressure drops or an E-stop trips. The lock is a holding device, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 s. The unit uses a separate G1/8 release port, and the -S magnet supports CMSE reed and 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 BSED80X25S 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 a vertical gripper assembly steady at 3175 N drive force both ways, engaging the 3600 N lock to prevent dropping when air is lost.
Uses the rear exiting rod for a cam flag while the collet locks the 2268 N bidirectional force in place during machining pauses.
Diverts loads equally in both directions and relies on the fail-safe spring-applied collet to hold position during E-stops.
Choose this 80 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way force and a fail-safe hold up to 3600 N. If your load to hold is lower, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N drive force at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N holding force. If you need more, step up to the 100 mm bore, which provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa.
Always verify your load does not exceed the 3600 N static holding force. For safety, engage the lock only after the rod completely stops, and release it only when both piston sides are pressure-balanced. When replacing, match the 80 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, and the integrated magnet. For any stroke 300 mm or longer, add an external guide to manage side loads.
Quick checklist
The integrated rod lock is spring-applied, so it automatically clamps the rod with a 3600 N static holding force to maintain position. It is a fail-safe holding device, not a dynamic brake, and requires no live air.
The double-rod drive force is equal both ways at 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum drive of 324 kgf. The static holding force of the lock is 3600 N.
