This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X160-75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X160-75 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 SUJ100X160-75
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-75 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 SAUJ100X160-75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-75
The AirTAC SUJ100X160-75 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 75 mm on-site, yielding a usable 85-160 mm extend out of the 160 mm nominal maximum. This bore delivers a 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a 1/2" port and 29 mm adjustable air cushions.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-75, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades sensing to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches (this SKU lacks a magnet entirely and cannot take sensors), and the SAU line adds a built-in-valve SAUF variant. For sizing, the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa implies a safe working load around 2356 N (60% derating) or a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so fit an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X160-75 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 SAUJ100X160-75 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.

|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -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 SUJ100X160-75 Is Used
Variable-Length Pressing
Field-tune the extend end position by up to 75 mm to accommodate different material thicknesses on a single pressing station without swapping the entire actuator.
Adjustable Transfer Stops
Set precise divert distances on the fly for mixed product sizes on a packaging line, using the external stop screw to trim the 160 mm stroke exactly where needed.
Custom Height Indexing
Dial in the exact extend position for indexing pallets or containers of varying heights, relying on the 7068 N push force at 0.9 MPa to move heavy loads reliably.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X160-75 with the SAUJ100X160-75
To replace this discontinued SUJ100X160-75, order the drop-in SAUJ100X160-75, which matches the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounts. Because this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot accept switches; if your upgrade requires position sensing, select an SAUJ model with the -S suffix and use current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 80 mm bore yields a 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 75 mm adjust window when you need precise field tuning of the extend end position; for strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify your side-load limits to prevent guide wear. The stop screw decelerates and sets the end position but does not hold the load on air loss—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X160-75
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X160-75 FAQ
Yes, the SUJ100X160-75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X160-75, which shares the same 100 mm bore, 160 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this non-magnetic SUJ SKU cannot accept switches.
This double-acting single-rod cylinder delivers a 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 75 mm adjustment window, allowing you to shorten the 160 mm extend stroke down to 85 mm on-site. The stop sets the end position but is not a load lock.
