This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUD100X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUD100X200S 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 SUD100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200S 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 SAUD100X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200S
The AirTAC SUD100X200S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 200mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are equal at 3681N @0.5 MPa, 5153N @0.7 MPa, and 6626N @0.9 MPa. Built with an extruded aluminium profile barrel, it is more compact than standard cylinders. This SUD100X200S is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200S, matching the 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounts.
The double-rod design prevents piston rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors). With a 3681N @0.5 MPa force, the computed safe working load is ~2209N, allowing a vertical lift of ~188kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required to hold loads without live air.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUD100X200S 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 SAUD100X200S 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.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 SUD100X200S Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal 3681N force, using the double-rod geometry to maintain strict anti-rotation control.
Transfer Pusher Assembly
Shifts heavy pallets along a conveyor where the rear rod operates a legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensor cam to confirm the full 200mm stroke position.
Vertical Lifting Gate
Raises an 188kg gate using a 2:1 safety margin on the 0.5 MPa supply, requiring an external rod lock to hold the load securely if air pressure drops.
Replacing the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X200S with the SAUD100X200S
To replace the discontinued SUD100X200S, specify the SAUD100X200S drop-in, which retains the exact 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. Size both ways by checking neighbouring bores if you need higher or lower force, but the 100mm bore provides 3681N @0.5 MPa equally in both directions. A double rod is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools simultaneously. Because this unit has the -S magnet, upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes >=300mm, ensure adequate side-load guidance to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUD100X200S
- ✓ 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 SUD100X200S FAQ
Yes, the SUD100X200S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200S, which matches the 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the piston magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The SUD100X200S features a 1/2" port and provides equal force both ways: 3681N @0.5 MPa, 5153N @0.7 MPa, and 6626N @0.9 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with a 29mm adjustable air cushion at each end, yielding a safe working load of ~2209N at 0.5 MPa.
