Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-08B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-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 SAUF100X160S-08B
The SAUF100X160S-08B 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, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The 100mm bore has a 1/2" air port, a 25mm rod, and an M20x1.5 rod thread.
This model includes a piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Operating pressure is 0.15-0.8 MPa, limited by the valve despite the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 2356 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 4M310-08 valve has a 1/4" port, Cv 1.4, and a 4 cycle/s limit. The DC24V coil offers IP65 protection with a 0.05 s response.

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 SAUF100X160S-08B Is Used
Decentralized Press Clamping
Ideal for large presses needing individual actuator control. The built-in 4M310 valve provides local switching without long tubing runs back to a central manifold.
Heavy Material Diversion
Handles heavy pallets on a conveyor line. The 100mm bore delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, and the integrated valve simplifies installation along the line.
Automated Storage Gates
Perfect for opening heavy gates in automated storage systems. The DC24V coil and IP65 rating ensure reliable operation in dusty industrial environments.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-08B the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighboring bores: the 80mm bore pushes 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 100mm bore pushes 3927 N. Confirm the DC24V coil and terminal entry match your control system. This actuator runs on 0.15-0.8 MPa; never size the assembled unit to the 1.0 MPa cylinder body limit. By default the rod retracts when the coil is energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. The built-in valve routes air and is not a load lock; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. For this 160mm stroke side-load is minimal, but for strokes over 300mm use a guide to prevent rod damage.
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 SAUF100X160S-08B FAQ
It pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-08 with a 1/4" port and Cv 1.4. The DC24V coil operates at 0.15-0.8 MPa; do not exceed 0.8 MPa on the assembled unit even though the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa.
By default the rod retracts when the coil is 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.
