Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-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 SAUF100X160S-10B
The SAUF100X160S-10B 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 bore dictates a 1/2" cylinder port with an M20x1.5 rod thread, and the valve features a 3/8" port with a Cv of 1.68.
Operating on DC24V with terminal entry, the valve achieves a max 4 cycles/sec. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but the assembled unit runs at 0.15-0.8 MPa. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 2356 N, offering a vertical lift capacity of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The S suffix denotes a piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

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)

|---|---|---|
| 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-10B Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Decentralized clamping on a large press line. The integrated valve provides immediate high-force actuation without routing long tubing back to a central manifold.
Pallet Diverter
A single-signal diverter gate for heavy pallets. The built-in 4M310 valve handles the flow needed for rapid 100mm bore switching directly at the station.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifting a 200kg materials gate. The self-contained architecture saves installation time and manifold slots in expansive warehouse automation setups.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X160S-10B the Right Choice?
Size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window: this 100mm bore pushes 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, while the smaller 80mm bore pushes 2513 N. Confirm the DC24V terminal coil and 3/8" valve port suit your supply. Default action retracts the rod when energised; reposition the valve to extend-when-energised. The valve routes air and is not a lock, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. For this 160mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide strokes of 300mm or more.
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-10B FAQ
It includes a 4M310-10 valve with 3/8" port and Cv 1.68. The DC24V coil operates at max 4 cycles/sec. Push force is 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 6282 N at 0.8 MPa. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the assembled unit must operate within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window.
No. The built-in valve routes air but is not a load lock. If air is lost, the piston drifts and the 29mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
