The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X450S 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, 450mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED80X450S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. Because a rod exits both ends, the annular area is identical on both sides, yielding 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 flags or cams and naturally resists rotation.
A separate G1/8 release port controls the fail-safe collet mechanism, delivering a 3600 N static holding force with zero live air required. If pressure drops or an E-stop trips, the rod is clamped securely at position. Note that this is a static lock, not a dynamic brake; engage it only after the rod stops and release it only when piston sides are pressure-balanced, allowing at least 0.5 seconds.
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 BSED80X450S 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 3600 N static lock holding force. Size with a safety margin.

Utilizes the equal 3175 N both-way thrust to clamp parts firmly from both sides, while the 3600 N fail-safe lock prevents jaw separation if shop air drops during a cut.
Lifts heavy platens using the double-rod anti-rotation properties, relying on the spring-applied collet to hold the 450 mm stroke position securely during air loss events.
Shifts heavy pallets horizontally with symmetric speed and force, engaging the static rod lock to freeze the diverter arm instantly when the conveyor E-stop is activated.
Select this 80 mm bore model when your application requires both symmetric thrust and fail-safe holding up to 3600 N. If your load requires less force, stepping down to the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold. If you need more capacity, stepping up to the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold. Always verify your load is strictly under the 3600 N holding limit.
At 450 mm of stroke, the moment loads generated by any off-center mass are amplified, so guide the load externally to prevent binding against the ISO 15552 extruded barrel. This configuration includes the -S magnet for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors, a PT3/8 cylinder port, and an M20x1.5 rod thread. When ordering a replacement, match the bore, stroke, port thread, mounting style (Basic, LB, FA, or TC), and magnet option.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design provides equal drive force in both directions: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa (max 324 kgf). The integrated fail-safe rod lock provides a separate bidirectional static holding force of 3600 N with no live air.
You must first restore pressure to balance both sides of the piston, then apply air to the G1/8 release port. Wait at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage before commanding motion. The lock is a static holding device, not a dynamic brake, so never engage it while the rod is moving.
