Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF40X160-06B
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF40X160-06B is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M210-06 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 SAIF40X160-06B
The AirTAC SAIF40X160-06B is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated 4M210-06 5/2 solenoid valve. This specific SKU is configured with a DC24V terminal electrical entry consuming 3.0 W, a PT1/8 cylinder port, and a 1/8 inch valve port. The built-in valve provides an effective flow area of 14.0 mm2 (Cv 0.78) and operates at a maximum frequency of 5 cycles per second. Because the valve manifold routes air internally via an O8 x O5 PU tube, you save panel space and eliminate remote plumbing.
While the bare cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the practical operating range for this assembled valved unit is 0.15-0.8 MPa. It generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. From the factory, the default setting retracts the piston rod when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised if your sequence requires it. The standard carbon steel rod and adjustable air cushions handle speeds of 30-800 mm/s reliably.

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 (Ø40mm)

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 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 SAIF40X160-06B Is Used
Decentralized Stations
Ideal for large machines with multiple stations, using the built-in valve to actuate locally without routing long pneumatic lines back to a central manifold.
Compact Assembly Machines
Saves valuable panel and footprint space by mounting the 4M210 valve directly on the profile cylinder, perfect for tight automation cells.
Retrofit Automation
Simplifies electrical and pneumatic upgrades on existing lines, requiring only a DC24V terminal connection to control the 5/2 valve and cylinder.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF40X160-06B the Right Choice?
Select this 40 mm bore when you need decentralized actuation in a large machine where running separate valve tubing is costly. It delivers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 32 mm bore (402 N push) for lighter loads, or up to a 50 mm bore (982 N push) if you need greater thrust. The self-contained 4M210 valve means one DC24V coil signal drives the cylinder directly, simplifying wiring. Remember that the 5/2 valve routes air but does not lock the load mechanically—use an AirTAC SAIL lock cylinder if you need position holding. When replacing, match the 160 mm stroke, PT1/8 cylinder port, 1/8 inch valve port, DC24V voltage, terminal entry, and standard carbon steel rod. For this 160 mm stroke, ensure proper guide alignment to prevent side-load wear.
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 SAIF40X160-06B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The integrated 4M210-06 valve has an effective area of 14.0 mm2 (Cv 0.78).
The integrated 5/2 valve is pilot-operated and holds its last position without a spring. By default, the coil retracts the rod when energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised. It routes air to move the cylinder but does not mechanically lock the load.
