Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500-10A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500-10A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø100mm bore, 500mm 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 SAUF100X500-10A
The SAUF100X500-10A is a double-acting profile-type 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. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch.
It delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. Size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. The valve port is 3/8" (Cv 1.68, 30 mm2 flow) with a max frequency of 4 cycles/s. The coil is AC220V with terminal entry. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), allowing a vertical lift of about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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 SAUF100X500-10A Is Used
Heavy Material Lift
Decentralized lifting of heavy pallets in a large assembly line, using the built-in valve to switch locally without running long tubing to a central manifold.
Sorting Diverter
Actuating a diverter gate on a high-inertia conveyor where the 100 mm bore provides the force needed to redirect heavy packages quickly.
Vertical Gate Control
Opening and closing vertical loading dock gates, benefiting from the one-signal switching and 29 mm adjustable cushions to soften end-of-stroke impacts.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500-10A the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighboring bores: the 80 mm bore gives 2513 N push while the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. Confirm the AC220V coil and terminal entry meet your control voltage. The rod retracts when energized but can be reconfigured to extend by repositioning the valve. Always operate within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range. The built-in valve routes air and is not a load lock; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. For this 500 mm 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 SAUF100X500-10A FAQ
It pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 (3/8" port, Cv 1.68, 30 mm2 flow, max 4 cycles/s). The coil is AC220V with terminal entry. You must size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window, even though the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa. The cylinder air port is 1/2".
Yes. The default action retracts the rod when the coil is energised. You can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised simply by repositioning the built-in valve. Because the valve only routes air, it is not a load lock; you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load safely.
