This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ100X160-30, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 SUJ100X160-30
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ100X160-30, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30
The AirTAC SUJ100X160-30 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, yielding a usable 130-160 mm stroke from the 160 mm nominal maximum. Built with an extruded aluminum profile barrel, it is structurally shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and uses a 1/2" port with a 25 mm rod. This SUJ model is DISCONTINUED; the direct replacement is the SAUJ100X160-30, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
The stop screw sets the end position but is NOT a load lock; a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for held loads. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot take a magnetic switch, whereas the SAUJ upgrade adopts current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X160-30 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 SAUJ100X160-30 produces the same force from the same bore. 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 SUJ100X160-30 Is Used
Variable Stroke Pressing
Ideal for light assembly presses where the extend stroke must be fine-tuned on-site by up to 30 mm to accommodate different material thicknesses without reprogramming the machine.
Adjustable Diverter Arms
Perfect for diverter mechanisms on packaging lines that require precise end-position tuning to route varying box sizes accurately within the 130-160 mm stroke window.
Custom Length Stops
Used in material handling gates where the external stop screw allows operators to manually shorten the extend stroke to create custom physical stops for changing pallet dimensions.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30 with the SAUJ100X160-30
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X160-30, order the direct replacement SAUJ100X160-30, which preserves the 100 mm bore, 160 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB/Basic SC-series mounting. The -30 adjust window is ideal if you need field tuning between 130 mm and 160 mm without machining spacers. Note that this non-magnet SKU cannot accept sensors; if you need position detection, the SAUJ uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load guidance to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X160-30
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X160-30 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SUJ100X160-30 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ100X160-30. It matches the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ also uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B, and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant.
The double-acting double-rod cylinder has a 30 mm adjustable stroke window, allowing the extend stroke to be trimmed from 160 mm down to 130 mm on-site. It uses a 1/2" port and 29 mm adjustable cushions. The stop sets end position but is not a load lock.
