Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X250S-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X250S-10B is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 250mm 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 SAIF100X250S-10B
The AirTAC SAIF100X250S-10B is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a built-in 4M310-10 5/2 solenoid valve. Featuring a 100mm bore and 250mm stroke, it delivers 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa and utilizes a carbon steel piston rod. The integrated valve offers a 30.0mm2 effective area (Cv 1.68) and operates at a maximum frequency of 4 cycles per second. This specific SKU is configured with a DC24V terminal electrical entry consuming 3.0W, an IP65 rating, and a PT tapered thread. Because the valve manifold uses O10xO6.5 PU tubing to bridge the cylinder and valve ports, you eliminate remote plumbing entirely.
While the bare cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, the practical operating pressure for this valved assembly is 0.15-0.8MPa. By default, the factory setting retracts the piston rod when the coil is energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised simply by repositioning the valve. This unit includes a magnet (-S) for precise position sensing with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It drives itself from one coil signal, making it highly effective for decentralized stations across large machines.

| 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 SAIF100X250S-10B Is Used
Decentralized Automation
Ideal for large-scale production lines where running individual valve tubing back to a main panel is costly, allowing each station to control its own high-force actuation locally.
Heavy Workpiece Clamping
Provides robust 3927N clamping force at 0.5MPa directly at the fixture, with the built-in 4M310 valve ensuring rapid response without pressure drops from long supply lines.
Space-Constrained Retrofitting
Drops into existing ISO 15552 mounting footprints to upgrade older setups, using the integrated valve manifold to save panel space and simplify wiring.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF100X250S-10B the Right Choice?
Choose this self-valved SAIF100X250S-10B when your application requires substantial thrust—such as the 3927N push force at 0.5MPa—without the spatial overhead of a remote valve island. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to an 80mm bore saves envelope while still providing 2513N of push force at 0.5MPa. The integrated 4M310 valve handles the airflow efficiently, and the DC24V terminal coil ensures safe, low-voltage operation with a rapid 0.05s activation time. Remember that the 5/2 valve routes air and holds its position via pilot pressure; it is not a lock. For genuine load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL lock variant instead.
When replacing this unit, verify the 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, PT3/8 cylinder port, 3/8 valve port, DC24V voltage, terminal entry, and the -S magnet. Although 250mm is within standard stroke limits, always ensure adequate guide support to prevent excessive side-loading 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 SAIF100X250S-10B FAQ
At 0.5MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder generates 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. The integrated 4M310-10 5/2 valve has an effective area of 30.0mm2 (Cv 1.68) and supports a maximum frequency of 4 cycles per second.
No, it features a built-in 4M310 valve manifold that switches the cylinder directly from a single DC24V coil signal. The factory default retracts the rod when energised, but this can be reconfigured to extend-when-energised by repositioning the valve.
