Airtac SAILF Front Locking Pneumatic Cylinder SAILF100X200
The AirTAC Airtac SAILF Front Locking Pneumatic Cylinder SAILF100X200 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 200mm stroke and a built-in spring-applied, air-released mechanical lock in the front cover — it holds the load at the extended (rod-out) stroke end even when air is lost.

About the Airtac SAILF Front Locking Pneumatic Cylinder SAILF100X200
The AirTAC SAILF100X200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a spring-applied, air-released mechanical lock housed in the front cover. This mechanism secures the rod specifically at the extended stroke-end, retaining outward thrust loads safely without consuming live air pressure. Delivering 5497N of push force at 0.7MPa, it utilizes a carbon steel piston rod and a 1/2 inch PT port.
Because the lock occupies the front cover, the variable air cushion on that locker end is notably shorter at 24mm compared to the 36mm cushion on the free end. The unit is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and unlocks automatically via air supply or manually via a lever. For position sensing, adding the -S magnet option enables compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.

How the Lock Holds
The lock is spring-applied and air-released: a spring drives a lock pin into the rod when the release air is removed, so the load is held at the extended (rod-out) stroke end without live pressure. Supply air to the release port to unlock automatically, or use the manual release lever.
The lock engages only when the piston reaches the stroke terminal on the front-cover side — it is a static end-of-stroke hold, not a mid-stroke clamp and not a moving-rod brake. For locking at any position along the stroke, choose a BSAI clamp-lock instead.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Cylinder thrust is separate from the lock's holding capability. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure — size with a margin.
Where the Airtac SAILF Front Locking Pneumatic Cylinder SAILF100X200 Is Used
Extended Lift Holding
Secures vertical lifts at the top extended stroke-end, maintaining the raised position safely even if main air supply pressure drops completely.
Power-Loss Safety Gate
Keeps heavy safety gates blocked in the open extended position during power loss, requiring an intentional air-release signal to unlock and close.
Outward Clamp Retention
Holds an outward clamping tool rigidly at the extended stroke-end without continuous air consumption, ensuring stable part holding during machining.
Is the Airtac SAILF Front Locking Pneumatic Cylinder SAILF100X200 the Right Lock Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore when an application demands robust extended-position holding; stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 3518N push force at 0.7MPa, while the 125mm bore offers 8590N. Choose the SAILF configuration to hold the rod at the extended stroke-end, versus the SAILB variant which secures the retracted position. If your process requires clamping at an arbitrary mid-stroke point rather than the terminal end, the BSAI clamp-lock cylinder is the correct alternative.
This lock is a static holding device that engages after the cylinder stops, not a dynamic brake for a moving rod. Avoid using fast-exhaust valves, as back-pressure on the locker side can inadvertently release the spring-applied pin; utilize an independent-exhaust solenoid valve instead. If human safety relies on the load remaining extended, implement an independent external safety measure. Replacement specifications must match the 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, front locker position, PT port threads, and standard carbon steel rod.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Hold needed at the extended (rod-out) end?
- ✓ Or lock anywhere → use BSAI
- ✓ Independent-exhaust valve fitted
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Extra safety measure for people
Airtac SAILF Front Locking Pneumatic Cylinder SAILF100X200 FAQ
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 3927N and the pull force is 3681N. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 5497N, and at 0.9MPa it reaches 7068N.
The lock is spring-applied and air-released, engaging only when the piston reaches the extended stroke-end in the front cover. It provides a static hold, not a mid-stroke clamp, and unlocks automatically via air supply or manually via a lever.
