Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X15
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X15 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 SAU100X15
The AirTAC SAU100X15 is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered for high-force, short-travel tasks. It delivers a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and features a 1/2 inch air port. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is significantly shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore, saving valuable machine space.
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. This 15 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order dimension. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X15 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Provides intense 3927 N clamping thrust for holding thick metal sheets in a stamping die before the press cycles.
Injection Molding Ejector
Delivers a rapid, high-force 15 mm ejection punch to free dense plastic parts from an injection mold cavity.
Pallet Brake Stopper
Acts as a heavy-duty end-stop to halt fully loaded pallets on a conveyor line, absorbing kinetic energy with its cushion.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X15 the Right Cylinder?
This 100 mm bore sits at the top of the SAU range; the next size down is the 80 mm bore, which provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 80 mm is ideal, but for maximum thrust up to 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, this 100 mm bore is the choice. Because the 15 mm stroke is non-standard, verify delivery times for made-to-order production.
Mount this cylinder using AirTAC SC-series accessories, such as LB foot brackets or FA flanges. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered; the adjustable 29 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of stroke and do not act as a lock. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or 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 SAU100X15 FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder has a 1/2 inch port and a 25 mm rod. It generates 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It is not an ISO 15552 cylinder; it uses AirTAC SC-series mounting accessories like CA clevis or FB flanges. Additionally, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
