Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-10A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-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 SAUF100X160S-10A
The SAUF100X160S-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, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The 100mm bore has a 1/2" air port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions. Its extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Operating in the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it generates 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The integrated valve features a 3/8" port, Cv 1.68 flow, and switches up to 4 cycles/sec. The AC220V terminal coil is IP65 rated with a 0.05s response. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N, capable of a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix provides a piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

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-10A Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press Feed
Decentralized actuation for a stamping line. The built-in 4M310 valve handles the high flow needed for the 100mm bore directly at the press, removing long tube runs from a central manifold.
Pallet Dispenser Gate
One coil signal drives this large-bore cylinder to dispense empty pallets. The integrated valve simplifies control wiring and eliminates the need for a dedicated remote valve island.
Automated Welding Clamp
Provides high clamping force (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) directly at the weld cell. The profile barrel saves space, while the onboard AC220V valve ensures rapid 4 cycle/sec actuation.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-10A the Right Choice?
Size this 100mm bore against the 80mm option (2513 N push @0.5 MPa) or the 63mm option (1559 N push @0.5 MPa) to match your load. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry and PT thread meet your control specs. The default action retracts the rod when 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 integrated valve routes air but does not lock the piston; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. For this 160mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but ensure adequate guiding for longer travels.
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-10A FAQ
It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 6282 N push at 0.8 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 (3/8" port, Cv 1.68, max 4 cycles/sec) with an AC220V terminal coil. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the assembled unit must operate in the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window. The bore features a 1/2" air port.
Yes. The default factory action retracts the rod when the coil is energized. You can reconfigure it to extend on signal by physically repositioning the built-in 4M valve on the cap. Note that the valve only routes air; it is not a load lock, so an external rod lock is required to hold a load safely.
