The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-08B 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.
The AirTAC SAIF100X160S-08B is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve. This integrated assembly features a 1/4" valve port and a 1/2" cylinder port, delivering a Cv of 1.40 and an effective area of 25.0 mm2. Driven by a DC24V terminal coil drawing 3.0 W, it achieves IP65 protection and responds in 0.05 s or less. The carbon steel piston rod and -S magnet option enable precise position detection with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state sensors.
Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the practical operating range for this valved unit is 0.15-0.8 MPa. Generating 3927 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa and reaching a maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, it provides substantial thrust. By default, the factory setting retracts the rod when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised. This decentralized design eliminates remote plumbing, using a PU tube O10 x O6.5 manifold to switch itself from a single coil 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.

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).
Ideal for large automated machinery where running remote valve tubing is costly, providing massive 3927N thrust directly at the station.
Delivers robust push force for pressing, clamping, or joining heavy components without needing a separate valve manifold.
Fits into tight machine envelopes where a traditional cylinder plus external valve would exceed available space.
Choose the SAIF100X160S-08B when a machine requires heavy thrust in a tight footprint, as the integrated 4M310 valve removes the need for a separate remote valve and cuts down on tubing and panel space. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, but the 100mm bore is ideal for moving large payloads. Ensure your control system matches the DC24V terminal electrical entry and PT tapered port threads. This configuration includes the -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE sensors.
Since the stroke is 160mm, side-loading is minimal, but always verify guide alignment for heavy loads. Remember that the built-in 5/2 valve routes air and holds its position via internal pilot pressure, but it does not lock the load mechanically; for true position holding under pressure loss, consider the AirTAC SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinders. To replace this unit, match the 100mm bore, 160mm stroke, 1/4" valve port, DC24V voltage, terminal entry, PT threads, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, though the practical working range for the valved assembly is 0.15-0.8 MPa.
No, the integrated 4M310-08 5/2 valve switches the cylinder directly from a single DC24V coil signal. By default, the factory setting retracts the rod when energised, but the valve can be repositioned to extend-when-energised.
