This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X20-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X20-10S 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 SUJ100X20-10S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X20-10S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X20-10S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X20-10S
The AirTAC SUJ100X20-10S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 10 to 20 mm from the 20 mm nominal maximum. As a discontinued model, it is replaced directly by the SAUJ100X20-10S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable cushions. The SAUJ upgrade transitions the -S magnet sensing from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
At 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force, scaling to 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. 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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X20-10S 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 SAUJ100X20-10S 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 SUJ100X20-10S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Adjusts the final 10 to 20 mm clamping contact point on the fly to accommodate varying workpiece thicknesses without repositioning the entire fixture.
Diverter Gate Positioning
Tunes the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site to set the exact gate protrusion distance required for different product widths on a packaging line.
Light Pressing Operations
Dials in the precise bottoming position for a 200 kg vertical pressing task, utilizing the 10 mm trim window to compensate for tooling variations.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X20-10S with the SAUJ100X20-10S
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X20-10S, order the drop-in SAUJ100X20-10S, retaining the same 100 mm bore, 20 mm nominal stroke, 10 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 10 mm adjust window when you need precise field tuning of a short 10 to 20 mm extend movement. Because this model includes the -S magnet, you must upgrade your position sensing from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For longer strokes reaching 300 mm or more, verify your side-load limits to prevent excessive guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X20-10S
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X20-10S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ100X20-10S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X20-10S, which shares the same 100 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The primary upgrade is that 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, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 10 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the 20 mm nominal extend stroke down to 10 mm on-site. The stop sets the end position but is not a load lock.
