Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X80S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X80S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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 SAU100X80S
The AirTAC SAU100X80S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder engineered for heavy-duty tasks, delivering a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. Designed with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is notably shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, providing a distinct space-saving advantage in tight machinery layouts. It features a 1/2" air port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 25 mm piston rod.
Because this SKU includes the -S suffix, it comes with a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 2356 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa push rating) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. Alternatively, it can vertically lift about 200 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X80S Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy injection mold halves, utilizing the compact profile to fit within tight press boundaries.
Palletized Load Pushing
Drives heavy pallets along roller conveyors in distribution hubs, where the 80 mm stroke and high thrust easily overcome initial rolling resistance.
Stamping Press Ejection
Ejects dense metal blanks from stamping dies, benefiting from the 1/2" port for rapid air exchange and the -S magnet for position confirmation.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X80S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore model, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore if your application requires less force, as the 80 mm provides 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need even more power, note that 100 mm is the largest standard SAU bore available, delivering a maximum theoretical force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This model uses the same mounting accessories as the AirTAC SC series, including LB foot, FA/FB flange, and CA/CB clevis brackets.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 29 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a braking mechanism. To safely hold a load in place during an air loss event, you must 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 SAU100X80S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the operational speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
You cannot use ISO 15552 brackets, as the SAU is a distinct compact profile cylinder. However, it shares mounting dimensions with the AirTAC SC series, accepting LB, FA, FB, CA, and CB accessories. Because this SAU100X80S model includes the -S magnet, it is fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches.
