Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X175S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X175S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm 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 SAU100X175S
The AirTAC SAU100X175S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. Its extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, providing a distinct space advantage in large machinery. It delivers a robust 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a 1/2 inch air port and an M20x1.5 rod thread.
For real-world sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 2356 N at 0.5 MPa to account for seal friction and smooth travel. This translates to lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The included -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches directly in the profile groove. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option instead of the standard TPU.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X175S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives a heavy stamping die with 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the 175 mm stroke to clear thick material blanks.
Pallet Handling Gate
Actuates a large diverter gate on a pallet conveyor, where the compact profile saves floor space and the -S magnet tracks gate position.
Vertical Lift Arm
Lifts a 200 kg mechanical assembly vertically using the 2:1 safety margin, relying on the 1/2 inch port for rapid actuation.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X175S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N, making it the top choice for heavy loads within the series. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it does not hold position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The adjustable 29 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Mounting uses AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot or FA flange brackets.
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 SAU100X175S FAQ
The 100 mm bore provides a push of 3927 N and pull of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/2 inch air port, a 25 mm rod, and has 29 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
No, it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 standards, though it shares mounting accessories with the AirTAC SC series like CA and CB clevises. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches that fit directly into the barrel profile groove.
