Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-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 SAIF100X160S-08A
The AirTAC SAIF100X160S-08A is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve. This built-in valve provides a Cv of 1.40 and operates at a maximum frequency of 4 cycles per second. Equipped with an AC220V terminal coil drawing 3.5 VA, it activates in 0.05 seconds or less. The unit includes a -S magnet for precise position sensing using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered threads ensure robust pneumatic performance.
Because the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa but the integrated valve limits operation to 0.15-0.8 MPa, the practical working range for this assembled unit is 0.15-0.8 MPa. Generating 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it provides substantial power for large actuators. By default, the piston rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reconfigure the valve to extend-when-energised. The manifold connects to the cylinder via PU tubing, eliminating the need for a separate remote valve and drastically reducing panel space and plumbing.

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 SAIF100X160S-08A Is Used
Decentralized Automation
Ideal for large machines with multiple stations, eliminating long tubing runs from a central valve bank by switching directly from a single AC220V signal.
Heavy Material Handling
Provides 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for moving heavy pallets or actuating large gates without needing external pilot valves.
Retrofit & Upgrades
Perfect for upgrading existing ISO 15552 cylinders where adding a separate valve manifold is structurally difficult or expensive to plumb.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-08A the Right Choice?
Select this 100mm bore model when your application requires high thrust, such as 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, and you want to avoid the tubing and wiring complexity of a remote valve bank. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to a 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, which saves envelope space. The self-valved design shines in decentralized stations across large machines, where routing individual valve lines is costly. Remember that the 5/2 valve routes air but does not hold the load without live pressure; for true mechanical locking, consider the SAIL series instead.
When ordering a replacement, verify the 100mm bore, 160mm stroke, 4M310-08 valve port, AC220V terminal coil, PT thread, and the -S magnet. The cylinder port is 1/2, while the valve port is 1/4. Since the stroke is under 300mm, standard side-load concerns are minimal, but always ensure proper guide alignment for the 25mm 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 SAIF100X160S-08A FAQ
The 100mm bore generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. The built-in 4M310-08 5/2 valve has an effective area of 25.0 mm2 (Cv 1.40) and operates at up to 4 cycles per second.
No, the integrated 4M310-08 valve controls the cylinder directly from the AC220V terminal coil signal. By factory default, energising the coil retracts the rod, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised.
