Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X160-06A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X160-06A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, 160mm 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 SAUF40X160-06A
The SAUF40X160-06A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M210 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 bore uses a 1/4" cylinder port and a 1/8" valve port.
Operating within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The safe working load is roughly 377 N, allowing a 2:1 margin vertical lift of about 32 kg. The integrated valve flows 14 mm2 (Cv 0.78) at up to 5 cycles per second. The AC220V terminal entry coil is IP65 rated. This SKU lacks 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 SAUF40X160-06A Is Used
Decentralized Clamping
Ideal for a machining cell where each clamping station uses one coil signal to actuate independently, saving manifold space.
Inline Diverter Gate
Perfect for a conveyor diverter that needs self-contained switching without running long tubing back to a central control panel.
Independent Pick-and-Place
Suits a compact assembly module where the actuator switches itself, reducing installation time and plumbing complexity.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X160-06A the Right Choice?
Size by checking both neighboring bores: the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N, compared to this 40 mm bore's 628 N. Confirm your coil is AC220V with terminal entry. The default action retracts the rod when energized, but you can reconfigure it to extend by repositioning the valve. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. The valve routes air and does not hold the load on pressure loss; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. For this 160 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but ensure adequate guidance for any stroke over 300 mm.
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 SAUF40X160-06A FAQ
It pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 (1/8" port, Cv 0.78, 5 cycles/s max) with an AC220V terminal entry coil. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but you must size force within the assembled valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window.
Yes. The default action retracts the rod when energized, but you can reposition the valve to make it extend upon energization. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a magnetic switch.
