Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-10B is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M310-10 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-10B
The AirTAC SAIF100X160S-10B is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a built-in 4M310-10 5/2 solenoid valve, yielding a high flow capacity with a 30.0 mm2 orifice (Cv 1.68). Driven by a DC24V terminal connection coil consuming 3.0 W, it activates in 0.05 s or less with IP65 protection. The integrated manifold connects the valve to the cylinder via PU tubing (O10 x O6.5), making it a fully self-switching actuator that eliminates the need for remote plumbing.
Because the 4M310 valve operates at 0.15-0.8 MPa, this defines the practical working pressure range for the assembled SAIF unit, even though the bare cylinder rates to 1.0 MPa. In this configuration, the unit delivers a robust 3927 N push force and 3681 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. Factory set to retract the piston rod when the coil is energised, the valve can be physically repositioned to extend-when-energised if your machine logic requires it. The included -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection.

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-10B Is Used
Decentralized Automation Cells
Perfect for large machine layouts where running individual valve tubing back to a central panel is costly, as the integrated 4M310 valve provides local self-switching.
High-Force Clamping Stations
Delivers 3927 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, ideal for securely holding heavy workpieces during machining or assembly without needing oversized actuators.
Space-Constrained Machinery
Eliminates the spatial footprint of remote valve islands and external plumbing, fitting a high-power 100mm bore actuator and its 5/2 valve into a single compact envelope.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X160S-10B the Right Choice?
Choose this 100mm bore when the 80mm variant (delivering 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) cannot meet your thrust requirements, but avoid oversizing to larger custom units if 3927 N is sufficient for your load. The self-valved SAIF architecture is highly advantageous for decentralized stations across large machines, as it slashes panel space, wiring complexity, and tubing runs compared to a traditional cylinder with a separate remote valve bank.
For load holding, note that the 5/2 valve routes air but does not lock the piston; if your application requires true mechanical holding under zero pressure, consider the SAIL lock cylinder or BSAI clamp-lock series instead. When replacing this unit, match the 100mm bore, 160mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, 1/2 valve port, DC24V voltage, terminal entry, PT thread, and -S magnet. Since the stroke is 160mm, ensure adequate guiding to prevent excessive side loads on the 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-10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. The built-in 4M310-10 valve provides an effective flow area of 30.0 mm2 (Cv 1.68) with a maximum operating frequency of 4 cycles per second.
No, the SAIF100X160S-10B features an integrated 4M310 5/2 solenoid valve mounted directly via a manifold block. It switches itself from a single DC24V terminal coil signal. By default, the rod retracts when the coil is energised, but this can be reconfigured to extend-when-energised by repositioning the valve.
