Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X300S-08B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X300S-08B is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 300mm 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 SAUF100X300S-08B
The SAUF100X300S-08B is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the actuator, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The 100mm bore delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa. It uses a Ø25mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, 1/2" cylinder port, and 29mm cushions.
The integrated valve provides 25mm2 flow (Cv 1.4) at a 1/4" port, switching up to 4 cycles/sec. The DC24V terminal coil offers IP65 protection. Size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa window, not the 1.0MPa cylinder body rating. The computed safe working load is about 2356N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), allowing a 200kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The S suffix adds 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)
| 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 SAUF100X300S-08B Is Used
Automated Press Clamping
Decentralized clamping on a large press line. The built-in valve provides rapid 4 cycles/sec actuation right at the tool, eliminating long tubing runs from a central manifold.
Heavy Transfer Diversion
Diverting heavy pallets on a conveyor. The 100mm bore provides 2356N safe working load, while the one-signal design simplifies wiring across a wide physical footprint.
Vertical Lift Gates
Lifting material handling gates. The unit safely raises 200kg loads with a 2:1 margin, and the piston magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for end-position confirmation.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X300S-08B the Right Choice?
For sizing, the 100mm bore yields 3927N push at 0.5MPa; dropping to an 80mm bore gives 2513N, while upsizing is impossible as 100mm is the maximum. Always confirm the DC24V terminal coil and 1/4" valve port. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but the assembled unit must operate at 0.15-0.8MPa. The rod retracts when energised by default, but repositioning the valve changes it to extend-when-energised. The valve routes air and is not a lock; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. For the 300mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
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 SAUF100X300S-08B FAQ
It delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, reaching 6282N push at 0.8MPa. The built-in 4M310-08 valve has a 1/4" port, Cv 1.4, and runs a DC24V coil. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, the assembled unit must operate within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa window.
By default, the rod retracts when the coil receives a signal. You can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised simply by repositioning the built-in valve. This self-switching design removes the need for a remote valve, saving a manifold slot and tubing.
