Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF50X160S-06A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF50X160S-06A is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 SAIF50X160S-06A
The AirTAC SAIF50X160S-06A is a double-acting profile cylinder with an integrated 4M210-06 5/2 solenoid valve, featuring a 1/8 inch valve port and a Cv of 0.78. Driven by an AC220V terminal entry coil drawing 3.5 VA, it switches itself using a single electrical signal, eliminating the need for remote plumbing and saving panel space. The base cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
While the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the built-in valve limits the practical operating pressure to 0.15-0.8 MPa. This 50mm bore unit generates 982N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The factory setting retracts the piston rod when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised. The manifold connects to the cylinder via O8xO5 PU tubing, routing air from the 1/8 valve port to the 1/4 cylinder port.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 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 SAIF50X160S-06A Is Used
Decentralized Machine Stations
Ideal for large machines where installing a remote valve bank is costly. The built-in 4M210 valve lets each station control itself locally via a single AC220V signal.
Space-Constrained Automation
The integrated manifold block and short PU tubing save valuable panel and footprint space compared to separate cylinder and valve assemblies.
Retrofit and Upgrades
Perfect for upgrading existing ISO 15552 lines. The terminal electrical entry and self-contained switching simplify wiring and air plumbing during retrofits.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF50X160S-06A the Right Choice?
Choose this self-valved SAIF unit when decentralized installation across a large machine is more efficient than running long air lines to a centralized manifold. The 50mm bore provides 982N push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 40mm bore drops the push force to 628N, while stepping up to a 63mm bore increases it to 1559N. The integrated 5/2 valve routes air but does not hold the load without live pressure; for true position holding, consider the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinders. To replace this unit, match the 50mm bore, 160mm stroke, 1/8 valve port, AC220V terminal coil, PT thread, and -S magnet.
With a 160mm stroke, ensure adequate guidance to prevent excessive side loads on the rod. The standard carbon steel rod handles standard cycling, and the unit operates reliably at speeds between 30-800 mm/s.
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 SAIF50X160S-06A FAQ
The 50mm bore generates 982N push and 825N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in 4M210-06 5/2 valve has an effective area of 14.0 mm2 (Cv 0.78) and operates at a maximum frequency of 5 cycles per second.
Yes. The factory setting retracts the rod when the AC220V coil is energised, but the 5/2 valve can be repositioned to extend-when-energised. This self-contained switching means no separate remote valve is required.
