This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X120-30S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X120-30S 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 SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X120-30S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X120-30S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X120-30S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X120-30S
The AirTAC SUJ100X120-30S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, providing a usable stroke range of 90-120 mm from the 120 mm nominal maximum. This bore delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a 1/2" port and M20x1.5 rod thread. The stop screw sets the end position and is not a load lock.
This SUJ100X120-30S model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X120-30S, sharing the same profile body, bore, force, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this unit uses legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X120-30S 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 SAUJ100X120-30S 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 SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X120-30S Is Used
Variable Depth Pressing
Allows operators to dial in the exact extend distance on-site for pressing bearings or pins to varying depths without swapping the entire actuator.
Adjustable Diverter Stroke
Fine-tunes the pusher extension length on a sorting line to accommodate different package widths on the fly using the 30 mm trim window.
Variable Height Ejection
Sets the precise ejection reach for parts of varying heights, ensuring components clear the tooling without overtravel.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X120-30S with the SAUJ100X120-30S
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X120-30S, use the drop-in SAUJ100X120-30S, retaining the 100 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore offers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose the 30 mm adjust window when you need on-site extend stroke tuning between 90-120 mm; this beats adding an external stop to a fixed SAU cylinder. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for position sensing; you must change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUJ. For strokes of 300 mm or more, verify side-load limits to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X120-30S
- ✓ 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 SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X120-30S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ100X120-30S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X120-30S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the position sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 100 mm bore provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 30 mm adjustable window, shortening the extend stroke from the 120 mm nominal maximum down to 90 mm. The stop sets end position only; it is not a load lock.
