About the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X150S
The AirTAC SAU100X150S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered to be shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore, saving valuable machine real estate. It delivers a robust 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 30-800 mm/s speed range. The extruded aluminum barrel features an integrated sensor groove, and this -S variant includes a piston magnet to accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 2356 N at 0.5 MPa, accounting for seal friction and smooth travel. This translates to lifting roughly 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/2" port and M20x1.5 rod thread handle high flow rates, while the standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C. For hotter environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X150S Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides heavy clamping force for large injection molds, utilizing the 3927 N push capacity to secure tooling halves during high-pressure resin injection.
Pallet Discharge Pusher
Ejects loaded pallets from stretch wrappers, using the 150 mm stroke to positively push heavy loads onto downstream accumulation rollers.
Press Ram Actuation
Drives the primary ram of a small pneumatic press for stamping or crimping heavy-gauge steel components with reliable 0.5 MPa force.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X150S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, compare it to adjacent bores: a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. If your application requires less force, dropping to an 80 mm bore saves space and air consumption. This 150 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always ensure your load is guided to prevent rod bending. You can mount this cylinder using AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot, FA/FB flange, or CA/CB clevis brackets. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke and does not act as a brake. For secure load holding, install 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 SAU100X150S FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder has a 1/2" port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. 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.
No, it is a compact profile cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit. It shares mounting accessory dimensions with the AirTAC SC series (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it fully supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
