Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X200S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm 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 SAU100X200S
The AirTAC SAU100X200S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Featuring an extruded aluminum barrel with a 200 mm stroke, it delivers a substantial push force of 3927 N and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. Because it uses a profile barrel rather than a standard tie-rod construction, this model achieves a shorter overall length than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, saving valuable machine space while sharing mounting accessories with the AirTAC SC series.
Equipped with a 1/2" air port and a robust Ø25 mm carbon steel rod with an M20x1.5 thread, this unit handles rigorous cycles at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The included -S piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the built-in profile groove. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push rating) to account for friction, which translates to lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Adjustable 29 mm air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration, and a high-temperature Viton (H) seal option extends operation up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X200S Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press Feeding
Drives robust metal blanks into stamping dies using its 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, with 29 mm adjustable cushions absorbing the heavy end-of-stroke impact.
Palletized Goods Lift
Raises 200 kg packaging loads vertically in distribution hubs, leveraging the compact profile length to fit within tight conveyor transfer zones.
Injection Mold Extraction
Pushes molded components out of hot environments using the Viton H high-temperature seal option rated for 0-150 C, tracked by DMSG sensors in the profile groove.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X200S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, compare its 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N, while the 100 mm is the largest standard SAU size available. If your application requires holding a load vertically during an air loss or valve centering event, remember that the standard air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as an end-of-stroke damper, never as a locking brake. You must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift. This SAU100X200S variant includes the -S magnet for position sensing and accepts standard SC-series mounting hardware like LB foot, FA/FB flange, or CA/CB clevis brackets.

- ✓ 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 SAU100X200S FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a 1/2" air port and generates 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.
It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 standards, but it shares mounting accessories with the AirTAC SC series (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB). The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches in the barrel groove.
