Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X100-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X100-08A is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 100mm stroke and a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve — it switches itself from one coil signal, so no separate remote valve or extra plumbing is needed.

About the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X100-08A
The AirTAC SAIF100X100-08A is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve. The integrated valve provides an effective area of 25.0 mm2 (Cv 1.40) and operates at a maximum frequency of 4 cycles per second. This specific configuration features an AC220V terminal coil consuming 3.5 VA, with an IP65 rating and a rapid 0.05 s activation time. The cylinder body uses a carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered threads.
Because the built-in valve operates at 0.15-0.8 MPa, the practical working pressure for the assembled SAIF unit is 0.15-0.8 MPa, even though the cylinder itself rates to 1.0 MPa. The factory default retracts the rod when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. By driving itself from a single coil signal, it eliminates remote plumbing and is ideal for decentralized stations across large machines.

The cylinder rates to 1.0 MPa but the built-in valve operates 0.15–0.8 MPa, so run the assembled SAIF at 0.15–0.8 MPa. Default: rod retracts when the coil is energised (reconfigurable to extend). Specs follow the official AirTAC SAIF datasheet. Port options: PT / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
Sized within the valve's 0.15–0.8 MPa range. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure.

SAIF does not hold its load without air — the valve routes air, it is not a lock. For load-holding use a SAIL (lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock).
Where the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X100-08A Is Used
Decentralized Automation
Eliminates the need for a remote valve bank, allowing independent control of heavy-duty stations across large manufacturing lines.
Retrofitting Machinery
Ideal for upgrading older equipment where running new valve tubing is costly, providing a self-contained actuation solution.
High-Force Clamping
Delivers 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa for securing heavy components during machining or assembly processes.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X100-08A the Right Choice?
Choose this 100mm bore when you need heavy thrust, delivering 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 80mm bore yields 2513N push at 0.5 MPa, which might better suit medium loads. The self-valved SAIF design beats a separate cylinder and remote valve by saving panel space and cutting tubing runs, which is highly effective for decentralized installations.
Since the 5/2 valve routes air and holds position via pilot pressure, it does not lock the load without live pressure; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL lock series. When ordering a replacement, match the 100mm bore, 100mm stroke, 4M310-08 valve port, AC220V terminal coil, PT thread, and no magnet (-S). The manifold uses PU tube (O10 x O6.5) to connect the valve to the cylinder.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Force at 0.15–0.8 MPa
- ✓ Coil voltage matches panel
- ✓ Terminal vs grommet entry
- ✓ Retract- or extend-when-energised
- ✓ Load-holding → SAIL / BSAI
Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X100-08A FAQ
The 100mm bore generates 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5 MPa. The built-in 4M310-08 valve has a 25.0 mm2 effective area (Cv 1.40) for optimal airflow.
The integrated 5/2 valve drives the cylinder from one AC220V coil signal. The factory setting retracts the rod when energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. No separate remote valve is needed.
