Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF32X160-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF32X160-08A is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M210-08 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 SAIF32X160-08A
The AirTAC SAIF32X160-08A is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated 4M210-08 5/2 solenoid valve. Driven by an AC220V terminal coil drawing 3.5 VA, the valve delivers a Cv of 0.89 and switches up to 5 cycles per second. Because the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa but the internal valve operates at 0.15-0.8 MPa, the practical working pressure for this assembled unit is 0.15-0.8 MPa. It generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
This self-contained design eliminates the need for a remote valve island, reducing plumbing and panel space for decentralized machine stations. The manifold connects to the cylinder using O8 x O5 PU tubing, and the unit arrives factory-set to retract the rod when the coil is energised, though this can be reconfigured to extend-when-energised by repositioning the valve. The carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered ports ensure robust, leak-free operation.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 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 SAIF32X160-08A Is Used
Decentralized Assembly Stations
Eliminates the need for long air lines back to a central manifold, allowing independent control of clamping actuators directly at the workstation.
Compact Sorting Diverters
Provides rapid 5 cycle/sec switching to push packages on a tight conveyor footprint without requiring a separate remote valve.
Retrofit Automation
Ideal for upgrading older machines where adding new pneumatic tubing runs is difficult, relying solely on the existing AC220V wiring.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF32X160-08A the Right Choice?
Choose the 32 mm bore when compact footprint and moderate force are required; if your application needs greater thrust, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. The SAIF32X160-08A is ideal for space-tight machines where running separate valve tubing is costly, as the built-in 4M210 valve switches the cylinder directly from one electrical signal. It features a 1/4 inch cylinder port and a 1/8 inch valve port. The coil offers IP65 protection and a 0.05 s response time.
Remember that the 5/2 valve routes air but does not mechanically lock the load; if you need true load-holding, consider the SAIL lock variant. When ordering a replacement, confirm the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 08 valve port, AC220V voltage, terminal entry, PT threads, and absence of a magnet. The 160 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but ensure adequate guidance if side loads are present.
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 SAIF32X160-08A FAQ
The 32 mm bore generates 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated 4M210-08 valve has an effective area of 16.0 mm2 and a Cv of 0.89.
No, the SAIF32X160-08A has a built-in 4M210 5/2 valve actuated by an AC220V terminal coil. By factory default, the piston rod retracts when the coil is energised, but this can be reconfigured to extend-when-energised by repositioning the valve.
