Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160-06A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160-06A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 SAUF50X160-06A
The SAUF50X160-06A 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 makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 50mm bore, 160mm stroke, 1/4" cylinder port, and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
Operating within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 982N push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated valve uses a 1/8" port with 14 mm2 flow (Cv 0.78) and cycles up to 5 times per second. The AC220V terminal-entry coil is IP65 rated. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 589N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), allowing a vertical lift of about 50kg 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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 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 SAUF50X160-06A Is Used
Decentralized Clamping Station
Ideal for a machining cell where the integrated 4M210 valve switches the clamp directly, saving manifold wiring and tubing runs back to a central control panel.
Inline Diverter Gate
Perfect for diverting packages on a conveyor. The one-signal operation simplifies PLC logic while the compact profile fits neatly between belt rollers.
Independent Lift Station
Suits a standalone lift mechanism in a storage system. The built-in valve removes the need for a dedicated remote valve island, reducing overall machine footprint.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160-06A the Right Choice?
Size by comparing neighbor bores: the 40mm bore gives 628N push while the 63mm bore gives 1559N at 0.5 MPa. This 50mm bore yields 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 1570N at the 0.8 MPa valve limit. Confirm the AC220V voltage and terminal entry match your control system. The rod retracts when the coil energises; reposition the valve to reverse this to extend-when-energised. Because this SKU lacks a magnet suffix, it cannot accept a magnetic switch. The valve routes air but does not lock the load; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. For this 160mm stroke, standard guide tolerances apply, but any stroke over 300mm requires a side-load guide to prevent rod bending.
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 SAUF50X160-06A FAQ
It generates 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 1570N at 0.8 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 (1/8" port, Cv 0.78, 5 cycles/sec max). The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but you must size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window. The coil is AC220V with terminal entry.
No, the built-in valve only routes air and is not a load lock. If air is lost or the valve is centered, the piston will drift. To hold a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
