This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X160-50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X160-50S 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 SUJ100X160-50S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-50S 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 SAUJ100X160-50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-50S
The AirTAC SUJ100X160-50S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, yielding a usable 110-160 mm extend range from the 160 mm nominal maximum. The 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, via a 1/2" port and Ø25 mm rod. This SUJ model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-50S, retaining the same 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. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~2356 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), allowing a ~200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAUJ replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The compact profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and the SAUJ beats fitting a fixed SAU plus external stop when you need field stroke tuning.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X160-50S 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 SAUJ100X160-50S 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 SUJ100X160-50S Is Used
Variable Press Stroke
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site allows precise positioning of pressing heads without machining custom spacers for each product variant.
Adjustable Diverter Arm
Field-tuning the extend end position lets a diverter arm accommodate different package widths on the line quickly and without swapping cylinders.
Variable Depth Sealing
An external stop screw provides exact depth control for sealing jaws, enabling rapid changes between carton sizes while maintaining a soft cushion stop.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-50S with the SAUJ100X160-50S
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X160-50S, order the drop-in SAUJ100X160-50S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 50 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. Choose the 50 mm adjust window if your fixture needs to trim the extend stroke on-site between 110 and 160 mm. For position feedback, migrate from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the nominal stroke is 160 mm, side-load alignment is manageable, but always verify rod-end alignment to prevent seal wear. Mounting compatibility is with the AirTAC SC series only.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X160-50S
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X160-50S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ100X160-50S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-50S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The 100 mm bore 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. The external stop screw window is 50 mm, allowing you to shorten the 160 mm nominal extend stroke down to 110 mm on-site. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
