Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130S 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 SAU100X130S
The AirTAC SAU100X130S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered to be shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore, saving valuable machine space. It delivers a robust 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating via a 1/2 inch port and a 25 mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 2356 N, which accounts for seal friction at 0.5 MPa. Vertically, this translates to lifting about 200 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly into the profile groove for position detection.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives a 150 kg die set in an automotive stamping line, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to form steel brackets reliably.
Pallet Positioning Gate
Actuates a heavy-duty diverter gate in a distribution hub, where the compact profile length prevents interference with tight conveyor clearances.
Injection Mold Ejection
Pushes thick molded plastic parts out of a tooling cavity, using the built-in magnet and DMSG sensor to confirm part release before the mold closes.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X130S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore against the 80 mm option, which provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa. If 3927 N is insufficient, note that 100 mm is the largest standard SAU bore. For this 130 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide the rod for heavy lifting. Mounting relies on AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot or FA flange.
Remember that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If power drops or the valve centers, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to secure suspended loads safely.
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 SAU100X130S FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a 1/2 inch port and 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.
No, it is not an ISO 15552 cylinder, but it shares mounting dimensions with the AirTAC SC series. You can use SC-series LB foot, FA flange, or CA clevis brackets. The -S suffix means it has a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
