The AirTAC Airtac BSED Clamping Double Acting Cylinder BSED80X50 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, 50mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, G1/8 lock-release.
The AirTAC BSED80X50 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an integrated spring-applied, air-released rod lock. A rod exits both ends, providing equal thrust and speed in both directions—about 2268 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The rear rod is ideal for mounting flags or cams and resists rotation.
If air pressure drops below 0.15 MPa or an E-stop trips, the internal collet clamps the 25 mm rod to provide a 3600 N bidirectional static hold. This fail-safe lock requires no live air. Remember to engage the lock only after the rod stops, and release it only when both 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 BSED80X50 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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC BSED datasheet. Rod thread M20×1.5 both ends. Mounting (BSED): Basic, LB, FA, TC. Port options: PT (standard) / G (BSPP); lock-release port is G1/8.
| 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.

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.
Lift 324 kgf loads symmetrically both ways and secure the 25 mm rod with 3600 N of static holding force to prevent drops during air loss.
Mount a secondary cam or tool on the rear rod for equal both-way actuation, engaging the collet lock only after the spindle stops.
Hold indexing pallets securely in place with a 3600 N fail-safe clamp that activates instantly if the 0.15-0.7 MPa air supply is interrupted.
Choose this 80 mm bore when you need symmetric both-way force and fail-safe holding. Verify your static load does not exceed the 3600 N holding force. If you need less force, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and a 2200 N hold; if you need more, the 100 mm bore provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a 5500 N hold.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it does not support position sensing. The cylinder port is PT3/8, and the separate lock-release port is G1/8. Operating pressure is capped at 0.7 MPa. For safety-rated or man-rated overhead loads, always use external safety controls, as the lock is a static clamp, not a dynamic brake.
Quick checklist
The double-rod drive force is equal both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a max drive of 324 kgf. The integrated spring-applied rod lock provides a 3600 N static holding force with no live air.
Release the lock only after the rod has stopped moving and both piston sides are pressure-balanced. Apply air to the G1/8 release port and allow at least 0.5 seconds for the collet to disengage before driving the cylinder.
