Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-10A
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-10A is a genuine double-acting profile-type cylinder with a Ø63mm bore, 160mm stroke and a built-in 4M310-10 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 SAUF63X160-10A
The SAUF63X160-10A is a double-acting profile cylinder with a built-in AirTAC 4M310 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. This 63mm bore uses a 3/8 inch air port and a 3/8 inch valve port.
Operating strictly within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers 1559N push at 0.5 MPa. The 4M310-10 valve provides 30 mm2 flow (Cv 1.68) at up to 4 cycles per second. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 935N, and it can vertically lift about 79kg with a 2:1 margin. The AC220V terminal entry coil is IP65 rated. Since this SKU lacks the S suffix, it cannot accept a magnetic switch.

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 SAUF63X160-10A Is Used
Inline Diverter Gate
Switches a routing flap on a conveyor line using one AC220V signal, avoiding long tubing runs back to a central manifold.
Machine Tool Clamp
Provides decentralized clamping on a machining station, delivering 1559N push at 0.5 MPa directly at the work point.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds packaging flaps with a compact profile cylinder, saving manifold space while cycling up to 4 times per second.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-10A the Right Choice?
Size against the 50mm and 80mm neighbors: this 63mm bore gives 1559N push at 0.5 MPa versus 982N on the 50mm, stepping up to 2513N on the 80mm. Confirm the AC220V terminal entry and PT thread suit your control panel. The cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa, but you must size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range. The rod retracts when the coil is energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. Because the valve only routes air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load. For this 160mm 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 SAUF63X160-10A FAQ
It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 2494N push at 0.8 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 (3/8 inch port, Cv 1.68, 30 mm2 flow) with an AC220V terminal entry coil. You must size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve operating window, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating.
Yes, the default action retracts the rod when the coil is energized, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. The valve only routes air; it is not a lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
