Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-10B
The AirTAC Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-10B 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 SAUF63X160-10B
The SAUF63X160-10B 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 is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This unit has a 63 mm bore, a 160 mm stroke, a 3/8" air port, and an M16x1.5 rod thread.
Operating within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve window, it delivers a 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated valve provides a 3/8" port, 30 mm2 flow (Cv 1.68), and switches up to 4 cycles per second. The DC24V terminal entry coil is IP65 rated. Based on the 0.5 MPa push figure, the safe working load is approximately 935 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 79 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor.

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 SAUF63X160-10B Is Used
Modular Clamping Stations
Ideal for decentralized machining cells where each clamp actuates independently from a single DC24V signal without a central valve manifold.
Inline Divert Gates
Provides robust 1559 N push force for routing heavy packages directly at the divert point, saving tubing runs back to a control panel.
Independent Lift Stops
Perfect for storage lift positions needing a self-contained actuator; the built-in 4M310 valve ensures fast 4 cycle/sec operation locally.
Is the Airtac SAUF Series Valve-Mounted Air Cylinder SAUF63X160-10B the Right Choice?
Size this 63 mm bore against the neighbouring 50 mm (982 N push) and 80 mm (2513 N push) options at 0.5 MPa. Confirm the DC24V terminal entry coil and PT thread match your supply. The rod retracts when the coil is energised, but you can reposition the valve to extend on signal. Always size force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve range, not the 1.0 MPa cylinder body rating. The built-in valve routes air and is not a lock; the piston drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. For this 160 mm stroke, standard guide tolerances apply, but any stroke over 300 mm requires a side-load guide to prevent rod bending.
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 SAUF63X160-10B FAQ
It pushes 1559 N and pulls 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in valve is a 4M310-10 (3/8" port, Cv 1.68) running on DC24V. You must size the force within the 0.15-0.8 MPa valve operating window, even though the cylinder body rates to 1.0 MPa.
Yes, you can reposition the valve to make the rod extend when the coil is energised. The valve only routes air; it is not a load lock. If power or air is lost, the piston drifts, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
