Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500S-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500S-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 SAUF100X500S-10B
The SAUF100X500S-10B 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 100mm bore version uses a 1/2" cylinder port and features a 500mm stroke with a built-in piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
It delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, reaching 6282N at the 0.8MPa assembled maximum. The integrated valve provides 3/8" porting with a 30mm2 flow (Cv 1.68) and switches up to 4 cycles per second. The DC24V terminal coil offers IP65 protection with a 0.05s response. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 2356N, allowing a vertical lift of about 200kg 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 SAUF100X500S-10B Is Used
Decentralized Press Clamping
Ideal for large presses needing high force. The built-in valve provides localized 6282N clamping at 0.8MPa without routing long tubing back to a central manifold.
Heavy Material Diversion
Handles 500mm stroke diversion gates on conveyors. One DC24V signal actuates the 100mm bore directly at the station, simplifying wiring and maximizing flow.
Pallet Lift Stations
Suitable for lifting heavy pallets. With a safe working load near 2356N, it lifts around 200kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin using the integrated 4M310 valve.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF100X500S-10B the Right Choice?
Size this 100mm bore against the neighboring 80mm option: the 80mm yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa, while this 100mm provides 3927N. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT thread meet your control specs. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but you must size force within the built-in valve's 0.15-0.8MPa operating window. The default action retracts the rod when energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. Because the 500mm stroke exceeds 300mm, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The valve only routes air; it cannot hold a load on pressure loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended 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 SAUF100X500S-10B FAQ
It pushes 3927N and pulls 3681N at 0.5MPa, reaching 6282N push at 0.8MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 (3/8" port, Cv 1.68, 30mm2 flow, max 4 cycles/sec). It uses a DC24V terminal coil. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, the assembled unit operates strictly within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa range.
Yes. The default action retracts the rod when energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend by repositioning the valve. The valve routes air for switching but does not function as a load lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
