Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X95
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X95 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 95mm 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 SAU100X95
The AirTAC SAU100X95 is a double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 95 mm stroke. It delivers a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter and more compact than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, saving valuable machine space. It features a 1/2 inch air port and an M20x1.5 rod thread.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, you can specify the Viton H seal option instead of the standard TPU. Plan for a safe working load of about 2356 N (roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push force) to account for friction, or expect it to lift about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X95 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives a heavy stamping die with 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the 95 mm stroke to form thick metal components securely.
Pallet Handling Gate
Actuates a robust routing gate in a high-throughput logistics hub, where the compact profile fits neatly within tight conveyor framework.
Injection Mold Ejection
Pushes finished molded parts out of a heavy industrial press, relying on the 1/2 inch port for rapid air exchange and fast cycling.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU100X95 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, compare it to its neighbors: a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. If 3927 N is insufficient, you are already at the top of the SAU range. You can mount this cylinder using AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot brackets, FA/FB flanges, or CA/CB clevises. Since this unit has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible without modifying the assembly.
Remember 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 limits to prevent end-cap impact; they do not act as a braking mechanism. To hold a load securely in place during an air loss event, install 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 SAU100X95 FAQ
The SAU100X95 delivers 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 is 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 100 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/2 inch air port.
No. This specific model does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. If you require position sensing, you must select an SAU100X95-S variant or use external mechanical limit switches.
