Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF32X160-08B
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF32X160-08B 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 SAIF32X160-08B
The AirTAC SAIF32X160-08B is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated 4M210-08 5/2 solenoid valve. This specific SKU is configured with a DC24V terminal electrical entry drawing 3.0 W, actuating via a PT1/4 valve port. Because the manifold relies on internal pilot pressure, the practical operating range for the assembled unit is 0.15-0.8 MPa, even though the bare cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa. At 0.5 MPa it yields 402N of push force and 345N of pull force.
The integrated valve routes air directly through a short PU tube (O8 x O5) to the cylinder's PT1/8 port, eliminating the need for a remote valve bank. Factory configured to retract the rod when the coil energises, the valve can be physically repositioned to extend-when-energised if your sequence demands it. This decentralized architecture minimises tubing runs and conserves panel space across large machines.

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)

|---|---|---|
| 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 SAIF32X160-08B Is Used
Decentralized Assembly Stations
Eliminates remote valve plumbing by driving the cylinder directly from a local DC24V signal, reducing tubing complexity across large factory layouts.
Compact Clamping Jigs
Provides 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa in tight machine envelopes where mounting a separate valve and manifold block is physically impossible.
Machine Retrofitting
Simplifies pneumatic upgrades by self-switching via the built-in 4M210-08 valve, avoiding the need to route new air lines back to a central panel.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF32X160-08B the Right Choice?
Choose this 32mm bore if your application requires around 402N push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 40mm bore raises that to 628N. The self-valved SAIF format is ideal for decentralized stations where running individual valve tubing back to a main manifold is costly or space-prohibitive. When specifying replacements, verify the 160mm stroke, 4M210-08 valve, DC24V terminal coil, PT thread type, and standard carbon steel rod. Since the stroke is 160mm, ensure adequate guiding to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod. Note that the 5/2 valve and air cushions decelerate motion but do not lock the load; for true position holding, consider the SAIL lock cylinder.
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 SAIF32X160-08B FAQ
The built-in 4M210-08 valve has a 16.0 mm2 orifice (Cv 0.89). While the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the internal piloted valve limits the practical operating pressure range to 0.15-0.8 MPa.
Yes. The factory setting retracts the piston rod when the DC24V coil is energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised by physically repositioning the 5/2 valve on the manifold block.
