Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X100-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X100-08A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 100mm 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 SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X100-08A
The AirTAC SAUF100X100-08A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the actuator, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This 100mm bore features a 1/2 inch cylinder port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions.
Operating strictly within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 3927N push force at 0.5MPa. The integrated valve provides 25mm2 flow (Cv 1.4) at 1/4 inch, cycling up to 4 times per second. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356N, yielding a 200kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. This terminal entry AC220V SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch.

The cylinder rates to 1.0 MPa but the built-in valve operates 0.15–0.8 MPa, so run the assembled SAUF at 0.15–0.8 MPa. Default: rod retracts when the coil is energised (reconfigurable to extend). Specs follow the official AirTAC SAUF datasheet. Port options: PT / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 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.

SAUF does not hold its load without air — the valve routes air, it is not a lock. For a held load, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Where the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X100-08A Is Used
Heavy Press Stand
Decentralized pressing station using one coil signal to drive the 3927N force without a remote manifold.
Pallet Diverter
Independent lane routing on a conveyor line, saving tubing by mounting the 4M310-08 valve directly on the cap.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifting a 200kg gate with a 2:1 margin at 0.5MPa, utilizing the integrated valve for localized control.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X100-08A the Right Choice?
Size against the 63mm and 80mm neighbors: this 100mm bore provides 3927N push at 0.5MPa versus 2513N for the 80mm. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry and PT threads meet your control specs. The default action retracts the rod when energized, but repositioning the valve switches it to extend-when-energized. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, never the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. Because the valve only routes air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads safely. For this 100mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but ensure adequate guiding for longer travels.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Force at 0.15–0.8 MPa
- ✓ Coil voltage matches panel
- ✓ Terminal vs grommet entry
- ✓ Retract- or extend-when-energised
- ✓ Load-holding → external rod lock
Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X100-08A FAQ
It pushes 3927N and pulls 3681N at 0.5MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-08 (1/4 inch port, Cv 1.4, 25mm2 flow) running on an AC220V terminal-entry coil. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but you must size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa operating window.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch. Additionally, the 5/2 valve routes air but does not lock the piston; on air loss the rod drifts. Install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
