Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø100mm 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 SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08A
The SAUF100X160-08A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 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 makes it shorter than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It uses a Ø25 mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread, a 1/2" cylinder port, and 29 mm adjustable cushions.
Operating within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa window, it delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated valve provides 25 mm2 flow (Cv 1.4) and handles up to 4 cycles per second. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N, and it can vertically lift about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. This terminal-entry AC220V model has no 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 SAUF100X160-08A Is Used
Machine Tool Clamping
Decentralized clamping on a large machining center. The built-in valve switches the clamp directly at the cap, saving tubing runs back to a central manifold.
Heavy Diverter Gate
Actuating a heavy diverter on a packaging line. The 4M310-08 valve provides Cv 1.4 flow for rapid shifting without a separate remote valve bank.
Pallet Lift Station
Lifting pallets at an assembly cell. The 100 mm bore provides the push force needed, with one coil signal simplifying the electrical install.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08A the Right Choice?
Size against the 63 mm and 80 mm neighbors: this 100 mm bore gives 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 2513 N for the 80 mm. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry matches your control voltage. The rod retracts when the coil is energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. The valve routes air but does not lock the load; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. For this 160 mm stroke side-load is minimal, but any stroke over 300 mm requires a guide to prevent rod binding.
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 SAUF100X160-08A FAQ
It pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 6282 N at 0.8 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-08 (1/4" port, Cv 1.4, 4 cycles/sec max) on a 100 mm bore with a 1/2" cylinder port. The coil is AC220V terminal entry. Size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating.
Yes. The integrated 5/2 solenoid means one coil signal switches the cylinder directly, saving manifold slots and tubing. The rod retracts by default when energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. Note the valve routes air and is not a load lock.
