Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF40X160S-06A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF40X160S-06A 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 SAIF40X160S-06A
The AirTAC SAIF40X160S-06A is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a built-in 4M210-06 5/2 solenoid valve. Delivering an effective flow of Cv 0.78 (14.0 mm2), this integrated assembly operates on a 0.15-0.8 MPa pressure range. Driven by an AC220V terminal entry coil consuming 3.5 VA, it activates in 0.05 s or less. The cylinder bore generates 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the -S magnet option enables position sensing with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches.
By default, the piston rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reconfigure the valve to extend-when-energised by simply repositioning the manifold block. The valve port is 1/8 inch (PT thread), which is distinct from the cylinder's own 1/4 inch port, and the manifold links them via an O8 x O5 PU tube. This self-contained design eliminates the need for a remote valve station, saving panel space and drastically reducing plumbing for decentralized machine layouts.

| 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 SAIF40X160S-06A Is Used
Decentralized Assembly Stations
Eliminates the need for remote valve islands on large machines by driving the 40mm bore directly from its built-in 4M210 valve, saving wiring and plumbing.
Compact Clamping Fixtures
Provides 628N of push force at 0.5MPa within a tight envelope, ideal for holding parts securely where external pneumatic lines would cause interference.
Retrofit Automation Projects
Simplifies machine upgrades by adding a self-switching cylinder that only requires a single AC220V electrical signal and a main air supply to operate.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF40X160S-06A the Right Choice?
Select this 40 mm bore SAIF model when your application requires 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push), or move up to the 50 mm bore (982 N push) for heavier loads. A self-valved SAIF cylinder is superior to a standard SAI cylinder with a separate remote valve when installation space is tight and running long tubing to a central manifold is impractical. It switches itself directly from one 220V AC coil signal. Remember that the 5/2 valve routes air but does not lock the load mechanically—use an AirTAC SAIL lock cylinder if position holding without live pressure is required. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 1/8 inch valve port, AC220V voltage, terminal entry, PT threads, and the -S magnet option. Because the 160 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, standard mount guidance applies.
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 SAIF40X160S-06A FAQ
The 40mm bore generates 628N push force and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa. The built-in 4M210-06 valve has a 14.0mm2 orifice with a Cv of 0.78 and a maximum frequency of 5 cycles per second.
No, the integrated 5/2 solenoid valve switches the cylinder directly from an AC220V terminal coil signal. Factory set to retract when energised, the valve can be repositioned to extend-when-energised. The practical operating pressure is 0.15-0.8MPa.
