Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X210S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X210S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 210mm 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 SAU100X210S
The AirTAC SAU100X210S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered to deliver massive force in a footprint notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore. It pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The integrated -S piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches into the barrel groove for precise position detection.
For practical sizing, plan your mechanism around a safe working load of roughly 2356 N, which accounts for seal friction at 0.5 MPa. In a vertical lift scenario, this translates to hoisting about 200 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/2" port and M20x1.5 rod thread handle high airflow for rapid actuation, while the adjustable 29 mm air cushions decelerate the heavy piston smoothly at both stroke ends.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X210S Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides the heavy 3927 N push force required to secure large injection mold halves, utilizing its compact profile to fit within tight press frameworks.
Pallet Positioning Gates
Actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on high-throughput packaging lines, moving loads smoothly via the adjustable 29 mm air cushions at stroke ends.
Vertical Lift Hoists
Lifts approximately 200 kg of raw materials vertically in a 2:1 safety margin setup, taking advantage of the 1/2" port for rapid high-volume airflow.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X210S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore unit against its neighbours, note the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas the 100 mm provides 3927 N. Since there is no larger standard SAU bore, moving beyond 801 kgf of theoretical max force requires a different cylinder family entirely. The 210 mm stroke falls well under the 1500 mm standard limit, keeping the rod highly rigid without requiring external guides for side loads.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Mounting relies on AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot brackets, FA/FB flanges, or CA/CB clevises. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only slows the piston near the end caps; if air pressure drops, the rod will drift. To suspend a load safely during an outage, fit 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 SAU100X210S FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a 1/2" air port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. It 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.
No, it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders, though its profile design is more compact. You must use AirTAC SC-series mounting accessories like FA flanges or LB foot brackets. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
