Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU80X600S
The AirTAC Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU80X600S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 600mm stroke, 3/8" 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 SAU80X600S
The AirTAC SAU80X600S is a double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 600 mm stroke and a 3/8" port. Its extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 80 mm bore, providing a distinct space advantage in tight machinery layouts. It delivers a robust push force of 2513 N and a pull force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, with a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.
For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 1508 N at 0.5 MPa to account for seal friction, rather than the absolute maximum. This translates to lifting a part weighing roughly 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors in the profile groove, and a Viton H seal option can elevate the operating temperature range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C for high-heat environments.

Where the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU80X600S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Diversion
Pushes heavy loaded pallets onto a secondary conveyor line, utilizing the 600 mm stroke to clear the main belt path completely.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a 120 kg mezzanine safety gate using the 128 kg safe vertical lift capacity, relying on the compact profile to fit within tight structural supports.
Injection Mold Ejection
Actuates a large secondary ejection platen in an injection molding machine, where the 2513 N force breaks parts free from the mold cavity.
Is the Airtac SAU Standard Air Cylinder SAU80X600S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm bore, compare its 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller 63 mm bore offering 1559 N, or the larger 100 mm bore providing 3927 N. Because this is a 600 mm stroke, you must use external guide rails to prevent rod bending and absorb side loads, as long strokes are vulnerable to deflection under heavy lateral stress. Mounting is straightforward using AirTAC SC-series accessories like LB foot, FA/FB flange, or CA/CB clevis brackets.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel and acts purely as an end-of-stroke damper. To prevent a suspended load from falling during an air loss event, 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 SAU80X600S FAQ
This 80 mm bore model features a 3/8" port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. It generates a push force of 2513 N and a pull force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, a push force of 3518 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 brackets, but it shares mounting accessories with the AirTAC SC series (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly into the sensor groove on the aluminum profile.
