Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160S-06A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160S-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 SAUF50X160S-06A
The SAUF50X160S-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 unit of the same bore. The bore dictates a 1/4" cylinder port and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
The integrated valve has a 1/8" port, Cv 0.78, and cycles up to 5 times per second. The coil runs AC220V with IP65 protection. Size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window; push is 982 N at 0.5 MPa. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is about 589 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), allowing a 50 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. 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 (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 SAUF50X160S-06A Is Used
Diverter Gate Control
Drives a sorting flap directly at the conveyor lane. One AC220V signal actuates the gate without routing tubing back to a central manifold.
Independent Clamping Station
Clamps a workpiece in a decentralized cell. The built-in 4M210 valve provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa without consuming a manifold slot.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on a packaging line. The 160 mm stroke and integrated magnet switches ensure precise folding position feedback.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160S-06A the Right Choice?
Size against the 63 mm bore (push 1559 N at 0.5 MPa) or the 40 mm bore (push 628 N) to match your load. This 50 mm bore pushes 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry and PT threads. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but the assembled unit operates at 0.15-0.8 MPa. Default action retracts the rod when energised; reposition the valve to extend on signal. The valve routes air and is not a lock—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. For this 160 mm stroke, guide the mechanism to manage 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 SAUF50X160S-06A FAQ
It pushes 982 N and pulls 825 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 (1/8" port, Cv 0.78, max 5 cycles/sec) running an AC220V coil. Size the force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve operating window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating.
The default action retracts the rod when the coil receives the signal. You can reconfigure it to extend-when-energised by repositioning the built-in valve. This self-switching design removes the need for a separate remote valve.
