Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X500S-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X500S-08A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, 500mm 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 SAUF40X500S-08A
The SAUF40X500S-08A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M210-08 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. The bore sets the 1/4" cylinder port and M12x1.25 rod thread, while the valve port is 1/4".
Operating strictly within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa window, it delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This yields a safe working load around 377 N, or a vertical lift capacity of roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. The integrated valve flows 16 mm2 (Cv 0.89) at up to 5 cycles per second. The AC220V terminal coil is IP65 rated, and the -S suffix provides a piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

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 SAUF40X500S-08A Is Used
Decentralized Conveyor Divert
Mounts directly at the divert gate to actuate a 500 mm stroke without running long tubing back to a central manifold.
Packaging Pusher Station
Uses the built-in 4M210-08 valve to push cartons at 5 cycles per second, saving manifold space on a compact packaging line.
Independent Machine Clamp
Provides isolated clamping on a large assembly fixture, requiring only a single AC220V signal and a 1/4" air supply to operate.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X500S-08A the Right Choice?
Size this 40 mm bore against its neighbours: a 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. This model delivers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry and PT threads match your supply. The rod retracts by default when energised; repositioning the valve changes it to extend-when-energised. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. The built-in valve routes air and is not a lock; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. For the 500 mm 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 SAUF40X500S-08A FAQ
It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 1005 N push at 0.8 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-08 with 1/4" port, 16 mm2 flow (Cv 0.89), and an AC220V terminal coil. You must size the force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window, even though the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa.
No, the 5/2 valve only routes air and is not a lock; the piston will drift on air loss. Also, the rod retracts when the coil is energised by default, but you can reposition the valve to extend-when-energised. For true load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
