This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ100X160-40S, 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.

The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-40S 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 SAUJ100X160-40S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ100X160-40S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, giving a usable 120-160 mm range from the 160 mm nominal maximum. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, 29 mm adjustable cushions, and a 1/2" port.
This SUJ model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAUJ100X160-40S, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit uses CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X160-40S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAUJ100X160-40S 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.
Ideal for light pressing tasks where the extend stroke must be tuned precisely on-site within the 120-160 mm window to accommodate material thickness variations without re-plumbing the machine.
Used on conveyor lines where a diverter or sorting gate needs field stroke tuning to handle different package sizes, allowing the 40 mm stop screw to set the exact rest position.
Deployed in material handling fixtures that require a specific extend endpoint to be set mechanically, ensuring repeatable stops for varying pallet dimensions.
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X160-40S, order the direct replacement SAUJ100X160-40S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounts. Choose the 40 mm adjust window when you need on-site extend trimming between 120 and 160 mm, which often beats fitting a fixed SAU plus an external stop. Because this unit has the -S magnet, upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify your side-load limits to prevent guide wear. The stop screw sets end position only; add an external rod lock for load holding without live air.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ100X160-40S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ100X160-40S, offering the same 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. You simply need to upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The external stop screw provides a 40 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the 160 mm nominal extend stroke down to 120 mm on-site. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ100X160-40S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
