Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-10B 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 SAUF100X160-10B
The SAUF100X160-10B is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M310-10 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the actuator, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The 100mm bore has a 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm cushions. This extruded aluminum body is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same size.
Operating in 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 DC24V terminal coil offers IP65 protection and responds in under 0.05s. The valve flows 30mm2 (Cv 1.68) at up to 4 cycles/s. This SKU lacks a magnet and 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 SAUF100X160-10B Is Used
Heavy Stamp Feeder
Uses one coil signal to push heavy blanks into a press, avoiding a remote valve bank and long tubing runs.
Pallet Diverter
Switches heavy pallets on a line via the integrated 4M310 valve, freeing up manifold slots for other actuators.
Decentralized Lift Gate
Lifts loads up to 200kg vertically in a large facility using local control, saving installation time.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160-10B the Right Choice?
Size by force: the 100mm bore yields 3927N push at 0.5MPa, while the 80mm neighbor yields 2513N. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT thread. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but size strictly within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve limit. Default action retracts the rod when energized; reposition the valve to extend on signal. The valve routes air and is not a lock—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. For the 160mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the load.
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 SAUF100X160-10B FAQ
It pushes 3927N and pulls 3681N at 0.5MPa, reaching 6282N at 0.8MPa. The built-in 4M310-10 valve has a 3/8" port, Cv 1.68, and runs on DC24V. Size force within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve window, not the 1.0MPa cylinder body rating.
The rod retracts by default when energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. The valve only routes air; it is not a load lock. For load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
