This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X160-30S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X160-30S 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 SUJ100X160-30S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30S 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 drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-30S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30S
The AirTAC SUJ100X160-30S is a discontinued double-acting single-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 extend range from the 160 mm nominal maximum. The 100 mm bore uses a 1/2" port and generates 3927 N push / 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa. This compact extruded barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because the SUJ line is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-30S, which preserves the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrade transitions the -S magnet from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock; an external rod lock is required to hold loads on air loss.

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 SAUJ100X160-30S 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.

| -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 SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30S Is Used
Variable Stroke Pressing
Ideal for light-duty pressing tasks where the extend distance must be dialed in precisely on-site to accommodate material thickness variations without reprogramming the machine.
Adjustable Diverter Arms
Perfect for conveyor diverter mechanisms that require field stroke tuning to handle different package sizes, allowing the 160 mm extend to be shortened by up to 30 mm.
Format Change Pushers
Used in packaging lines to push cartons into sealing stations, where the external stop screw allows operators to quickly trim the stroke for new carton formats.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-30S with the SAUJ100X160-30S
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X160-30S, order the drop-in SAUJ100X160-30S, which keeps the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighbouring 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa or 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose the 30 mm adjust window when you need on-site extend trimming between 130 and 160 mm without machining spacers. If your stroke is 300 mm or longer, verify the side-load limits to prevent rod binding. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Remember that the stop screw sets end position but does not hold loads; add an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X160-30S
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X160-30S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SUJ100X160-30S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-30S. It offers the same 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The 100 mm bore double-acting single-rod cylinder provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 30 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the 160 mm extend stroke down to 130 mm on-site. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
