This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUD100X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUD100X200 in place of this model. The SAU replacement uses the same profile body, bore, stroke, force and SC-series mounting. It moves to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the SU used CS1-B / DS1-B) and adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200
The AirTAC Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200
The AirTAC SUD100X200 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 200mm stroke. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force is equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200, matching the 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm cushions. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch.
The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod drive a second tool simultaneously. For buyers, the safe working load is roughly 2209 N (60% of the 3681 N baseline), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required to hold loads on air loss.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUD100X200 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAUD100X200 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SU-family variants: SUD (double rod), SUJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAU equivalent (SUD→SAUD, SUJ→SAUJ). The current SAU line adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Where the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200 Is Used
Dual-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal force both ways, ensuring perfectly balanced material removal without rotational drift.
Anti-Rotation Transfer Pusher
Transfers heavy workpieces along a conveyor using the inherent anti-rotation properties of the double-rod profile to maintain precise vertical alignment.
Balanced Lift Mechanism
Lifts loads symmetrically from both ends using the twin rods, preventing binding in compact packaging machinery where ISO 15552 cylinders will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200 with the SAUD100X200
To replace the discontinued SUD100X200, use the SAUD100X200 drop-in which retains the basic, FA, and LB mounts of the SC series. Size both ways by checking neighbour bores against your force needs, remembering this double-rod design provides equal force in both directions. Choose a double rod when you need anti-rotation or dual-tool driving. If upgrading sensing later, note the SAUD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For this 200mm stroke, side-load alignment is safe, but for strokes >=300mm ensure strict guide alignment to prevent seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUD100X200
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S): sensor family CS1-B → CMSG
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB)
- ✓ Need a built-in valve? → SAUF
Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200 FAQ
Yes, the SUD100X200 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200, which matches the 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and equal-both-ways force.
Force is equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The 100mm bore dictates a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
