Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF63X160-08B
The AirTAC Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF63X160-08B 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 SAIF63X160-08B
The AirTAC SAIF63X160-08B is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered with a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve. Driven by a DC24V terminal entry coil drawing 3.0 W, it activates in 0.05 s or less. The integrated valve delivers a 25.0 mm2 effective area (Cv 1.40) and cycles up to 4 times per second. Because the manifold routes air internally via PU tubing, you save panel space and eliminate remote plumbing.
Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the practical operating range for this valved assembly is 0.15-0.8 MPa. The 63 mm bore generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Factory-set to retract the rod when the coil is energised, the valve can be repositioned on the manifold to extend-when-energised if your sequence demands it. The cylinder features a 3/8 port, while the valve utilizes a 1/4 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 (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 SAIF63X160-08B Is Used
Decentralized Automation
Perfect for large machines with scattered stations, using the built-in valve to cut down on central manifold plumbing and complex tubing runs.
Mid-Force Clamping
Provides reliable 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa for holding workpieces securely during machining or assembly processes.
Compact Retrofitting
Ideal for upgrading older machines where space is tight, as the integrated valve eliminates the need to mount a separate solenoid block nearby.
Is the Airtac SAIF Series Standard Cylinder with Valve SAIF63X160-08B the Right Choice?
Choose this 63 mm bore when a 50 mm bore (delivering 982 N push at 0.5 MPa) is undersized, but an 80 mm bore (2513 N push) would be excessive. The SAIF63X160-08B is ideal for decentralized stations where running separate valve tubing is costly. It switches itself from one DC24V coil signal, drastically reducing wiring complexity. Remember that the 5/2 valve routes air but does not lock the load; for position holding under pressure loss, consider an AirTAC SAIL lock cylinder.
When ordering a replacement, verify the 160 mm stroke, 3/8 cylinder port, 1/4 valve port, PT tapered threads, and standard carbon steel rod. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors without modification. The 160 mm stroke is well within standard limits, so no external guide is strictly required for typical loads.
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 SAIF63X160-08B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. The integrated 4M310-08 valve provides an effective area of 25.0 mm2 (Cv 1.40) with a maximum frequency of 4 cycles per second.
No, the SAIF63X160-08B switches itself using a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 valve driven by a DC24V terminal coil. By factory default, the piston rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised if needed.
