Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500-10B 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 SAUF100X500-10B
The SAUF100X500-10B is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M310-10 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 unit of the same bore. This 100mm bore pushes 3927N at 0.5MPa within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve window.
It uses a 3/8 inch valve port with a Cv of 1.68 and cycles up to 4 times per second. The DC24V coil offers IP65 protection with terminal entry. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 2356N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), allowing a vertical lift of about 200kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor.

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 SAUF100X500-10B Is Used
Heavy Press Station
Provides localized high-force pressing without routing long tubing from a central manifold.
Pallet Lift Gate
Lifts heavy loads vertically using the integrated 4M310 valve for rapid decentralized response.
Sorting Diverter
Actuates large diverters directly at the line, saving a valve island slot and simplifying wiring.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500-10B the Right Choice?
Size against the 63mm and 100mm bores: the 63mm yields 1559N push while this 100mm hits 3927N at 0.5MPa. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT threads. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa but the assembled unit operates strictly at 0.15-0.8MPa. Default action retracts the rod when energised; reposition the valve to extend on signal. 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 500mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
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 SAUF100X500-10B FAQ
It pushes 3927N and pulls 3681N at 0.5MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 with a 3/8 inch port, Cv 1.68, and 4 cycles/s max. The DC24V coil runs the assembled unit within a 0.15-0.8MPa window, never the 1.0MPa cylinder body limit.
Yes. You can reposition the valve to make the rod extend when the coil is energised. This keeps the self-switching benefit of one coil signal without needing a separate remote valve.
