Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X60S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 SAU100X60S
The AirTAC SAU100X60S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It features a 100 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke, producing 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, this unit is noticeably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, providing a significant space advantage in tight machine layouts. The integrated piston magnet (-S) allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches along the profile groove.
This model utilizes a 1/2 inch air port and an M20x1.5 rod-end thread to handle high flow and substantial loads. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 2356 N, which accounts for seal friction and smooth travel at 0.5 MPa. In vertical lifting applications, this translates to lifting about 200 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. The standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, but a Viton H seal option extends this range up to 150 C for high-temperature environments.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X60S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives the lower die holder in a 150-ton stamping press, utilizing the 3927 N push force to securely seat heavy tooling within a confined 60 mm clearance.
Pallet Dispenser
Pushes empty wooden pallets into the loading magazine, lifting roughly 200 kg vertically using the integrated magnet for reliable bottom-position detection.
Injection Mold Ejector
Acts as a secondary ejector for large plastic automotive bumpers, where the compact profile length saves valuable floor space on the molding cell.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, consider the neighboring bores to match your exact force requirements. Stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm unit provides 3927 N. If even more power is needed, note that 100 mm is the largest standard SAU bore, so exceeding 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa requires a different cylinder series. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing. Mounting is highly versatile, sharing the exact same LB foot, FA/FB flange, and CA/CB clevis accessories as the AirTAC SC series.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not maintain its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the adjustable 29 mm air cushions only decelerate the rod near the stroke ends rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely in mid-stroke, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SAU100X60S FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a 1/2 inch air port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 brackets, but it shares the exact same mounting accessories as the AirTAC SC series. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly into the barrel groove.
