Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X190
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X190 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 190mm 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 SAU100X190
The AirTAC SAU100X190 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, with a 1/2" air port and an M20x1.5 rod-end thread. Its extruded aluminum barrel with an integrated sensor groove makes it shorter and more compact than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, providing a significant space advantage in tight machine layouts.
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. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. If your application involves high heat, you can specify the Viton H seal option to raise the operating temperature range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X190 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives heavy stamping dies and forming tools requiring substantial push force, utilizing the 3927 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to shape thick metal components reliably.
Pallet Dispenser
Indexes empty pallets in high-throughput packaging lines, using the compact profile length to fit into tight conveyor transfer zones without sacrificing lifting power.
Injection Mold Ejection
Ejects dense molded plastic parts from heavy machinery, relying on the 29 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 25 mm rod smoothly at the end of the 190 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X190 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, compare it to neighboring bores to match your exact force requirements. Stepping down to the 63 mm bore reduces the push force to 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm unit provides 3927 N. If you need maximum thrust, the theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Keep in mind that a plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the adjustable 29 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke end, acting as a brake. For suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
This model shares its mounting footprint with the AirTAC SC series, allowing you to use standard LB foot, FA/FB flange, or CA/CB clevis accessories. Since the 190 mm stroke is well below the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but always ensure rigid rod-end alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
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 SAU100X190 FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a 1/2" air port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. It delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, a push force of 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It is strictly an AirTAC SC-series mounting compatible cylinder, sharing accessories like LB foot and FA flange, but it is not ISO 15552 interchangeable. Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors.
