Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160-06B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160-06B 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 SAUF50X160-06B
The AirTAC SAUF50X160-06B is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in 4M210-06 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One DC24V coil signal drives the actuator directly, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot in decentralized setups. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This 50mm bore has a 1/4" cylinder port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21mm adjustable cushions.
Size force strictly within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, even though the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 982N push and 825N pull. The 4M210-06 valve flows 14 mm2 (Cv 0.78) at up to 5 cycles/sec. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 589N, and it can vertically lift about 50kg with a 2:1 margin. It uses a terminal entry, PT threads, and Ø8xØ5 PU tubing.

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 SAUF50X160-06B Is Used
Decentralized Clamping
Ideal for a machining cell where each clamping station uses one coil signal to actuate independently, saving manifold space and routing complex tubing back to a central panel.
Inline Divert Gates
Fits conveyor diverter arms on a packing line. The integrated valve handles 5 cycles/sec, providing rapid sorting without needing a remote valve bank nearby.
Compact Stopper Cylinders
Serves as a pallet stopper in automated storage systems. The profile barrel keeps the footprint tight, and the built-in valve simplifies installation across multiple zones.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160-06B the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighbouring bores: a 40mm bore yields 628N push while a 63mm bore yields 1559N at 0.5 MPa. This 50mm bore provides 982N push and 825N pull. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT threads suit your control panel. The rod retracts by default when the coil energises; you can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised by repositioning the valve. Because the 160mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load guide requirements are minimal. Remember the assembled unit operates only at 0.15-0.8 MPa due to the valve, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder rating. This SKU lacks the S suffix for a magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch. The valve routes air and is not a lock; 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 SAUF50X160-06B FAQ
It pushes 982N and pulls 825N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 (5/2 solenoid) with 1/8" port, Cv 0.78, and runs on DC24V. You must size the force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve operating window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating.
No, this specific SKU lacks the magnet suffix, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch. Additionally, the built-in valve only routes air; it is not a load lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a load.
