Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-10A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-10A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M310-10 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 SAUF100X160-10A
The SAUF100X160-10A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M310 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the actuator, saving tubing and a manifold slot in decentralized setups. The 100mm bore delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, operating safely within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa window.
This unit uses a 3/8" ported valve with a Cv of 1.68 and a 1/2" cylinder port. It switches up to 4 cycles per second. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356N, and it can vertically lift about 200kg with a 2:1 margin. The AC220V terminal entry coil is IP65 rated. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take 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 SAUF100X160-10A Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Decentralized clamping on large press lines where the built-in valve eliminates long tubing runs from a central manifold.
Pallet Lift Stations
Independent lifting modules using one coil signal per actuator, saving manifold space while delivering 3927N push force.
Heavy Sorter Diverters
High-force diverting on conveyors where the integrated 4M310 valve handles rapid 4 cycle/sec switching locally.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-10A 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 suit your supply. The rod retracts when energized but can be reconfigured to extend by repositioning the valve. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve range, not the 1.0MPa cylinder body rating. The valve routes air and is not a lock; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. For this 160mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but ensure guides for longer strokes.
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 SAUF100X160-10A FAQ
It pushes 3927N and pulls 3681N at 0.5MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 (3/8" port, Cv 1.68) running on AC220V. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but you must size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa operating window. The cylinder air port is 1/2".
Yes. The default action retracts the rod when the coil is energized. You can reconfigure it to extend-when-energized simply by repositioning the built-in valve. Because this SKU has no magnet, it cannot accept magnetic sensors.
