Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF63X160-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF63X160-08A is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 cylinder with a Ø63mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M310-08 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 SAIF63X160-08A
The AirTAC SAIF63X160-08A is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an integrated 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve. Driven by an AC220V terminal coil drawing 3.5 VA, it delivers 1559N push force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve offers a 25.0mm2 effective area (Cv 1.40) and switches up to 4 cycles per second. Because the valve is mounted directly via a manifold block, it eliminates remote plumbing and saves panel space.
Although the bare cylinder rates to 1.0 MPa, the practical operating range for this valved assembly is 0.15-0.8 MPa. The manifold connects the valve to the cylinder using O10xO6.5 PU tubing. Factory-set to retract the rod when energized, the valve can be repositioned to extend on signal. The unit operates at 30-800mm/s and uses adjustable air cushions at both ends.

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 (Ø63mm)

| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 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 SAIF63X160-08A Is Used
Decentralized Automation
Eliminates the need for a remote valve island on large machines, driving the 63mm bore directly from a single AC220V signal.
Mid-Force Clamping
Provides 1559N of push force at 0.5 MPa for holding workpieces securely during machining operations.
Wiring Retrofits
Ideal for upgrades where routing new pneumatic tubing is difficult, requiring only a single electrical connection to the terminal coil.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF63X160-08A the Right Choice?
Choose this 63mm bore when a 50mm cylinder (982N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks thrust, but an 80mm bore (2513N) is excessive. The integrated 4M310-08 valve with a 1/4" valve port makes it ideal for decentralized stations where running separate air lines is costly. For load-holding, note the 5/2 valve routes air but is not a lock; consider SAIL for mechanical clamping. Replacement requires matching the 160mm stroke, 3/8" cylinder port, PT threads, AC220V terminal coil, and standard carbon steel rod.
At 160mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but ensuring proper guide alignment will maximize seal life. To add position sensing, specify the -S option for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
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 SAIF63X160-08A FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 1559N of push force and 1402N of pull force. The built-in 4M310-08 valve has a 25.0mm2 orifice (Cv 1.40) and supports up to 4 cycles per second.
The factory setting retracts the rod when the AC220V coil is energized. By repositioning the 5/2 valve on the manifold, it can be reconfigured to extend when energized.
