This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUD63X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUD63X200 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 SUD63X200
The AirTAC Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD63X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 200mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD63X200
The AirTAC SUD63X200 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 200mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, push and pull force are equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. This discontinued model uses a 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable 21mm cushions. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200, matching the bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a magnetic switch. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows driving two tools simultaneously. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUD63X200 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAUD63X200 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 SUD63X200 Is Used
Dual-Tool Driving
Simultaneously operates two opposing grippers or tools from a single compact profile body using equal both ways force.
Anti-Rotation Lifts
The twin rod design prevents piston rotation during vertical lifting tasks, ensuring precise guided payload placement.
Symmetrical Transfer
Pushes and pulls workpieces across a conveyor with identical 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa in both motion directions.
Replacing the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD63X200 with the SAUD63X200
To replace the discontinued SUD63X200, use the SAUD63X200 drop-in, which retains the 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores to ensure the equal both ways force (1402/1962/2523 N) meets your needs. Choose a double rod when anti-rotation or dual-tool driving is required. Since this SKU is non-magnetic, sensing requires an external method. For strokes >=300, verify side-load limits. Cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUD63X200
- ✓ 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 SUD63X200 FAQ
Yes, the SUD63X200 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200, which matches the 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Force is equal both ways at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it uses a 3/8" port with 21mm adjustable cushions.
