Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X100-06B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X100-06B is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, 100mm stroke and a built-in 4M210-06 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 SAUF40X100-06B
The SAUF40X100-06B is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M210 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the motion, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The bore sets the 1/4" cylinder port, while the valve port is 1/8".
Operating within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The DC24V terminal entry coil is IP65 rated and allows up to 5 cycles per second. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 377 N, and it can vertically lift about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks the S suffix for a magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 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 SAUF40X100-06B Is Used
Decentralized Clamping
Ideal for a machining cell where each clamping station uses one coil signal to actuate independently, avoiding a central valve manifold.
Inline Diverters
Perfect for conveyor sorting gates that require rapid 5 cycle/s actuation without routing long air lines back to a main control panel.
Package Stops
Suits decentralized packaging lines by integrating the valve directly on the cap, minimizing tubing clutter between machine zones.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X100-06B the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighbouring bores: a 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. This 40 mm bore generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa assembled valve range, never the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT threads meet your specs. The rod retracts by default when energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. Since this unit lacks a magnet suffix, it cannot host a sensor. The valve routes air and does not function as a load lock; for held loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For this 100 mm stroke, side-load guides are unnecessary, but add them for strokes reaching 300 mm or more.
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 SAUF40X100-06B FAQ
It generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 5/2 solenoid with a 1/8" port, Cv 0.78, and a 5 cycle/s max frequency. The DC24V coil runs the assembled unit within a 0.15-0.8 MPa pressure window, despite the cylinder body rating of 1.0 MPa.
Yes. The default action retracts the rod upon energizing, but you can reconfigure it to extend by physically repositioning the built-in valve. This self-switching design removes the need for a separate remote valve.
