Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF32X160S-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF32X160S-08A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø32mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M210-08 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 SAUF32X160S-08A
The SAUF32X160S-08A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M210 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the rod, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The 32mm bore delivers 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5MPa, operating within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve window. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but the assembled unit is limited by the valve.
This model features a 1/4" valve port with 16mm2 flow (Cv 0.89) and a 1/8" cylinder port. The AC220V terminal entry coil is IP65 rated and switches at up to 5 cycles per second. With a piston magnet fitted, it supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241N (about 60% of the 402N push at 0.5MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of around 20kg 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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 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 SAUF32X160S-08A Is Used
Decentralized Clamping
Ideal for independent clamping stations on a large machining line where running individual air lines to a central manifold is impractical.
Inline Diverting
Perfect for small package diverters on conveyors, using the integrated valve to achieve rapid 5 cycles/s sorting without extra tubing.
Compact Assembly Stations
Suits tight robotic assembly cells where the short profile body and cap-mounted valve minimize overall footprint and manifold complexity.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF32X160S-08A the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighbouring bores: the 32mm bore offers 402N push at 0.5MPa, while the next size up provides 628N. Confirm your coil voltage (AC220V) and entry type (terminal) match your control system. The rod retracts by default when energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend by repositioning the valve. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve operating range. Because the built-in valve only routes air, it cannot hold a load without pressure; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding. For this 160mm stroke, ensure adequate side-load guidance to prevent uneven 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 SAUF32X160S-08A FAQ
It generates 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-08 (1/4" port, Cv 0.89, 5 cycles/s max) driven by an AC220V terminal entry coil. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, the assembled unit must operate within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve window.
By default, the rod retracts when the coil is energised. You can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised simply by repositioning the valve on the cap. This self-switching design means one coil signal controls the cylinder directly, eliminating the need for a separate remote valve.
