Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08B 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 SAUF100X160-08B
The AirTAC SAUF100X160-08B is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in 4M 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 uses a 1/2" cylinder port and a 25mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread.
Operating within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 3927N push at 0.5MPa. The safe working load is roughly 2356N, allowing a vertical lift of about 200kg with a 2:1 margin. The integrated 4M310-08 valve has a 1/4" port, Cv 1.4, and cycles up to 4 times per second. The DC24V coil offers IP65 protection with a 0.05s response. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor.

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 SAUF100X160-08B Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press
Decentralized actuation for a stamping die. The built-in valve handles the 6282N push at 0.8MPa directly at the cap, eliminating long tubing runs from a central manifold.
Pallet Diverter
One coil signal switches this 100mm bore actuator to divert heavy pallets. The integrated 4M310-08 valve ensures rapid 4 cycle/sec response without a remote valve bank.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts a 200kg gate with a 2:1 safety margin at 0.5MPa. The compact profile saves space, while the 1/2" cylinder port and 29mm cushion handle the kinetic energy.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-08B the Right Choice?
Size by comparing neighboring bores: the 80mm bore yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa, while this 100mm bore provides 3927N. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT threads match your supply. The default action retracts the rod when energized, but repositioning the valve switches it to extend-when-energized. Size force strictly 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 for load holding. For this 160mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod for stability.
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 SAUF100X160-08B FAQ
It pushes 3927N and pulls 3681N at 0.5MPa, reaching 6282N at 0.8MPa. The built-in 4M310-08 valve has a 1/4" port, Cv 1.4, and runs on DC24V. Size the force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve operating window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body limit.
No, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor. The default action retracts the rod when the coil is energized. You can reconfigure it to extend-when-energized simply by repositioning the valve on the cap.
