Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X100
The AirTAC SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X100 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.

About the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X100
The AirTAC SAU100X100 is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. Its extruded aluminum barrel with an integrated sensor groove makes it shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, providing a distinct space advantage in large machinery. The unit features a 25 mm carbon steel rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 1/2" port.
The standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed switches.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X100 Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides robust 3927 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for securing heavy injection mold halves, utilizing its compact profile to fit within tight press enclosures.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty stopper arm on high-throughput packaging lines, safely halting loaded pallets weighing up to 200 kg thanks to its strong thrust class.
Press Ejection System
Ejects dense stamped metal parts from hydraulic presses, relying on the 29 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb impact at the end of the 100 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, consider the neighboring bores to match your exact requirements. Stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm unit provides 3927 N, making it the top choice for the highest force demands within the SAU range. Because this 100 mm stroke falls under the 300 mm threshold, side-load concerns are minimal, but always ensure rigid mounting using AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot or FA flange brackets.
This SKU does not include a magnet (-S), meaning position sensing is not possible without changing the model. Furthermore, the adjustable 29 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end to prevent impact; they do not act as a brake. If your application must maintain a vertical position during air loss, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB — same as SC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X100 FAQ
The SAU100X100 delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497 N. The theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This model uses a 1/2" air port.
It is not an ISO 15552 cylinder, but it shares mounting dimensions with the AirTAC SC series, allowing the use of LB, FA, and CA accessories. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
