Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X250-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X250-10B is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 250mm 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 SAUF100X250-10B
The SAUF100X250-10B 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 in decentralized layouts. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. It features a 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, 1/2" cylinder port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions.
Operating in the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated 4M310-10 valve has a 3/8" port, Cv 1.68, and cycles up to 4 times per second. The DC24V coil offers IP65 protection with terminal entry. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N, and vertical lift capacity is about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the S suffix for a magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch.

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 SAUF100X250-10B Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamp Station
Provides localized high-force clamping on a machining line. The integrated valve ensures rapid actuation without running long tubing back to a central manifold.
Pallet Lift Gate
Lifts heavy pallets vertically using the 100mm bore capacity. The self-contained design simplifies installation on moving lift platforms where flexible routing is difficult.
Package Diverter Arm
Actuates a heavy diverter mechanism on a high-speed conveyor. The built-in 4M310 valve handles the 3/8" flow requirements directly at the actuator.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X250-10B the Right Choice?
Size this 100mm bore against the neighboring 80mm option: the 100mm provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 2513 N on the 80mm. Confirm the DC24V coil and terminal entry match your control circuit. 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 valve only routes air and is not a load lock; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. For this 250mm stroke, ensure adequate side-load guidance to prevent rod binding.
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 SAUF100X250-10B 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 with a 3/8" port and Cv 1.68. It uses a DC24V coil. You must size the force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window, even though the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa.
By default, the rod retracts when the coil is energized. You can reconfigure it to extend when energized simply by repositioning the valve. Because the valve routes air directly, it eliminates the need for a separate remote valve while operating at up to 4 cycles per second.
