Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X260-30S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X260-30S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 260mm 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 SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X260-30S
The SAUJ100X260-30S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 260mm maximum extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke on-site by up to 30mm, yielding a usable range of 230-260mm. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This -S SKU includes a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
In the 100mm class, it delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 7068N push at 0.9MPa. The 1/2" port and M20x1.5 rod end handle heavy loads. A practical computed insight: the safe working load is roughly 2356N (60% of the 0.5MPa push force), allowing a vertical lift of about 200kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Viton H seals can extend the -20 to +70C range up to 150C.

Where the Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X260-30S Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Allows operators to dial in the exact 230-260mm extend position for pressing bearings without swapping mechanical hard stops.
Pallet Stop Adjustment
Handles heavy 200kg vertical loads in packaging lines where the final stop position needs 30mm of field adjustment for varied box sizes.
Heavy Forming End Stop
Provides up to 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa for metal forming, using the external screw to set the precise bottoming depth on-site.
Is the Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X260-30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, stepping down to an 80mm bore drops the 0.5MPa push force to 2513N, while this 100mm bore provides 3927N. Choose the SAUJ over a fixed SAU when you need on-site extend length tuning without buying a new cylinder. The 30mm adjust window is ideal for final machine timing. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet enables electronic position sensing. For this 260mm stroke, ensure external guide rails to prevent side-load binding.
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 SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X260-30S FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 3927N push and 3681N pull. Push force is 5497N at 0.7MPa and 7068N at 0.9MPa, with a theoretical max of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. The 260mm nominal extend stroke can be shortened by up to 30mm via the external stop screw, giving a 230-260mm usable range.
The external stop screw mechanically sets the extend end position, but it is not a load lock. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss because the 29mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel. To hold a load securely, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
