Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160S-06B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160S-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 SAUF50X160S-06B
The SAUF50X160S-06B is a double-acting profile-type cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the actuator directly, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This 50mm bore unit has a 1/4" cylinder port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 21mm adjustable cushion at each end.
The integrated 4M210-06 valve features a 1/8" port, 14.0mm2 flow (Cv 0.78), and runs at up to 5 cycles per second. The DC24V coil offers IP65 protection with a 0.05s response. Size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa window, where push is 982N at 0.5 MPa. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 589N, and vertical lift is about 50kg with a 2:1 margin. The S suffix denotes 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-06B Is Used
Decentralized Clamping
Ideal for a machining line where each clamping station uses one coil signal to actuate independently, avoiding a central manifold.
Inline Divert Gate
A diverter on a conveyor belt benefits from the self-contained valve, cutting tubing runs and simplifying maintenance in tight spaces.
Package Stopper
A decentralized package stopper in a high-speed sorting hub uses the 5 cycles per second valve to cycle rapidly without lag.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X160S-06B the Right Choice?
When sizing, compare neighbouring bores: a 40mm bore gives 628N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 63mm bore provides 1559N. This 50mm bore yields 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa. Always size within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve operating range, never the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry and PT thread suit your control system. By default the rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. The 160mm stroke exceeds the 300mm side-load threshold, so guide the load to prevent rod bending. The built-in valve routes air but does not lock the load; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding.
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-06B FAQ
It generates 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-06 with 1/8" porting, Cv 0.78, and 5 cycles per second max. The DC24V coil runs at 3.0W with IP65 protection. Size the assembled unit within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating.
The default action retracts the rod when the coil is energised. You can reconfigure it to extend on signal by repositioning the valve. Because the valve only routes air, it is not a load lock; the piston drifts on air loss unless you add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
