Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X600S-06A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X600S-06A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø40mm bore, 600mm 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 SAUF40X600S-06A
The SAUF40X600S-06A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M210-06 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One AC220V coil signal drives the actuator, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The extruded aluminum barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This 40mm bore has a 1/4" cylinder port, an M12x1.25 rod thread, and a 21mm adjustable cushion.
The integrated valve has a 1/8" port, 14 mm2 flow (Cv 0.78), and cycles up to 5 times per second. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but the assembled SAUF must operate in the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull. A safe working load is roughly 377 N, and it can vertically lift about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. The S suffix means a piston magnet is included 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 SAUF40X600S-06A Is Used
Divert Gate Actuation
Decentralized diverters on a packaging line use this self-switching cylinder to push gates without routing tubes back to a central manifold.
Vertical Package Lift
Lifting light parcels up to 32 kg in a sortation hub, using the integrated valve to save manifold space in tight control panels.
Component Pusher Station
Pushing parts laterally between conveyors where installing a separate remote valve and tubing would be impractical.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF40X600S-06A the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighbouring bores: a 32mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50mm bore provides 982 N. This 40mm bore gives 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, never the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry and PT threads suit your control panel. The rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend on energisation. For the 600mm stroke, add an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The valve routes air and is not a lock; if air drops, the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAUF40X600S-06A FAQ
It generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 (1/8" port, Cv 0.78, 5 cycles/s max) running on AC220V. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, the assembled unit must operate within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window.
Yes. The default action retracts the rod when the coil is energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised simply by repositioning the valve. Because the valve routes air, it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for holding.
