About the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X80
The AirTAC SAU100X80 is a double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring an extruded aluminum barrel that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. Operating on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The unit integrates a 1/2" port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to smooth out end-of-stroke impacts.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, 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 SAU100X80 Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides heavy-duty 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure injection mold halves, utilizing the compact profile to fit within tight press boundaries.
Stamping Press Feed
Drives heavy metal blanks into a stamping press, relying on the 1/2" port for rapid air exchange and maintaining high throughput at 30-800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X80 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, compare it against neighboring bores to ensure optimal performance. Stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 2513 N, while stepping up is not an option as 100 mm is the largest available SAU bore. You can mount this cylinder using AirTAC SC-series accessories, including LB foot brackets, FA/FB flanges, and CA/CB clevises, alongside I, Y, F, or U rod knuckles.
Keep in mind that a standard SAU cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the 29 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends rather than locking it. To suspend a load securely during an emergency stop or air failure, 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 SAU100X80 FAQ
The SAU100X80 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 at 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 100 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/2" air port.
You must use AirTAC SC-series mounting accessories like LB, FA, FB, CA, or CB brackets, as the SAU profile is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552. Additionally, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
