Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160-08A is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 160mm 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 SAIF100X160-08A
The AirTAC SAIF100X160-08A is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve. Driven by an AC220V terminal coil drawing 3.5 VA, it delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Because the integrated valve operates at 0.15-0.8 MPa, this defines the practical working pressure range for the assembled unit, even though the bare cylinder rates to 1.0 MPa.
This decentralized design eliminates the need for a separate remote valve, reducing panel space and plumbing. The manifold connects to the cylinder using O10 x O6.5 PU tubing, while the 1/2 inch cylinder port differs from the 1/4 inch valve port. Factory-set to retract the rod when energised, the valve can be repositioned to extend on signal.

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)

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 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 SAIF100X160-08A Is Used
Decentralized Automation
Ideal for large-scale production lines where installing individual remote valves is impractical, allowing each station to control its own high-thrust actuation locally.
Heavy Material Handling
Provides robust push force for lifting or shifting heavy workpieces directly at the machine bed without requiring extensive external pneumatic plumbing.
Machine Retrofits
Simplifies upgrades by bundling the actuator and switching valve into one assembly, drastically reducing the tubing and wiring needed for installation.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160-08A the Right Choice?
Choose this 100mm bore when a smaller 80mm unit (providing 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust. The self-contained 5/2 valve makes it ideal for large machines where running individual valve tubing is costly. For load-holding applications, note that this valve routes air and is not a lock; consider an AirTAC SAIL for pneumatic locking. When replacing, verify the 160mm stroke, 1/4 inch valve port, AC220V terminal coil, PT threads, and standard carbon steel rod.
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 SAIF100X160-08A FAQ
The built-in 4M310-08 valve has an effective area of 25.0 mm2 (Cv 1.40). The 100mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N push force and 3681 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, it integrates a 4M310 5/2 valve directly on the manifold, operating on an AC220V terminal connection. By default, the piston retracts when the coil is energised, but this can be reconfigured to extend by repositioning the valve.
