The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF50X225S-08A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø50mm bore, 225mm stroke and a built-in 4M210-08 5/2 solenoid valve — it switches itself from one coil signal, so no separate remote valve or extra plumbing is needed.
The SAUF50X225S-08A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M210-08 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 S suffix means a piston magnet is present for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
It delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa. A safe working load is roughly 589 N, and it can vertically lift about 50 kg with a 2:1 margin. The integrated valve has a 1/4" port, 16 mm2 flow (Cv 0.89), and handles 5 cycles/s. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but size force within the valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa window. The bore sets the 1/4" cylinder port, rod thread is M16x1.5, and PU tube is Ø8xØ5.

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.

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.
Decentralized sorting lines use this self-switching cylinder to push packages, cutting tubing runs to a central manifold.
Each clamping point gets its own 4M210-08 valve signal, freeing manifold slots for other actuators on the machine.
The compact profile and built-in magnet for position sensing suit tight cells where a remote valve would be cumbersome.
Size by checking both neighbours: the 40 mm bore gives 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore gives 1559 N. This 50 mm bore provides 982 N push. Confirm the coil is AC220V with terminal entry and PT threads. Default action retracts the rod when energised; reposition the valve to extend on energisation. Size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, never the 1.0 MPa cylinder rating. 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. For this 225 mm stroke, ensure side-load guidance to prevent rod bending.
Quick checklist
It pushes 982 N and pulls 825 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M210-08 (1/4" port, Cv 0.89, 5 cycles/s) running on AC220V. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but you must size force within the assembled valve's 0.15-0.8 MPa operating window.
Yes. The default action retracts the rod on energisation, but you can reposition the valve to make it extend when energised. Because the valve only routes air, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a load on air loss.
