Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 130mm 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 SAU100X130
The AirTAC SAU100X130 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 design makes it shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, saving valuable machine space without sacrificing power. The unit features a 25 mm carbon steel rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 1/2 inch air port.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 2356 N, which accounts for seal friction at 0.5 MPa. This translates to lifting roughly 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. If your environment exceeds 70 C, you can specify the Viton H high-temperature seal option to handle up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130 Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy injection mold halves, utilizing the compact profile to fit within tight press enclosures.
Palletized Load Pusher
Drives heavy goods across conveyor rollers in high-throughput distribution centers, moving components that weigh up to 200 kg safely.
Metal Stamping Ejector
Ejects thick stamped metal parts from heavy presses, relying on the 29 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb impact at the end of the 130 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, compare it against neighboring bores: the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. If you need even more power, you would step outside the SAU family. This 130 mm stroke falls well under the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke, so no side-load guide concerns apply here. Mounting is highly flexible thanks to compatibility with AirTAC SC-series accessories, including LB foot brackets, FA/FB flanges, and CA/CB clevises.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder like this SAU100X130 will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The adjustable 29 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends to prevent impact damage; they do not act as a braking mechanism. To safely hold a load in place during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SAU100X130 FAQ
The SAU100X130 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, and the theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 100 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/2 inch air port and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
No, the SAU is a profile-type cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 model, so it does not share an ISO footprint. However, it shares mounting compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. You can use SC-series LB foot mounts, FA/FB flanges, and CA/CB clevises. Additionally, this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept magnetic position sensors.
