Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-08A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-08A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø63mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M310-08 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 SAUF63X160-08A
The SAUF63X160-08A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M310-08 5/2 solenoid valve on the cap. One coil signal drives the actuator, eliminating remote plumbing and saving a manifold slot. The 63mm bore delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa. The cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, but the assembled unit operates strictly within the valve's 0.15-0.8MPa window.
The integrated valve has a 1/4" port, 25mm2 flow (Cv 1.4), and cycles up to 4 times per second. The cylinder air port is 3/8". This AC220V terminal-entry coil is IP65 rated with a 0.05s response. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 935N (about 60% of the 0.5MPa push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 79kg 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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 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 SAUF63X160-08A Is Used
Decentralized Clamping Station
Ideal for a machining cell where each clamp needs its own valve, saving manifold space and simplifying air routing with a direct AC220V signal.
Inline Divert Gate
Perfect for a packaging line diverter that cycles independently, using the built-in 4M310 valve to eliminate long tubing runs back to a central control panel.
Independent Lift Station
Suited for a localized lifting probe in a large automated warehouse, switching directly from one coil signal to save installation time.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-08A the Right Choice?
Size by checking both neighbouring bores: the 50mm bore offers 982N push at 0.5MPa, while the 80mm bore provides 2513N. This 63mm unit outputs 1559N push at 0.5MPa. Confirm your coil is AC220V with terminal entry before ordering. The rod retracts when energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend by repositioning the valve. Size all forces within the 0.15-0.8MPa valve range, never the 1.0MPa cylinder body rating. The valve only routes air; it is not a load lock, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. Since the 160mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load guides are less critical, but always guide the rod. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor.
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 SAUF63X160-08A FAQ
It pushes 1559N and pulls 1402N at 0.5MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-08 (1/4" port, Cv 1.4, max 4 cycles/sec) running on AC220V. Although the cylinder body rates to 1.0MPa, you must size forces within the assembled valve's 0.15-0.8MPa operating window.
By default the rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reconfigure it to extend by repositioning the valve. The valve only routes air and is not a load lock, so for vertical loads you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drifting.
