This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X225-50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X225-50 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 SUJ100X225-50
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X225-50 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X225-50, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X225-50
The AirTAC SUJ100X225-50 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 175-225 mm extension out of the 225 mm nominal maximum. Built with an extruded aluminum profile barrel, it is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore. This unit delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 1/2" port.
This SUJ model is DISCONTINUED. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X225-50, which matches the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrade shifts sensing to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, as this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. As this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a magnetic switch. For sizing, the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 2356 N (about 60%), translating 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; use an external rod lock for held loads.

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 SAUJ100X225-50 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 SUJ100X225-50 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Allows operators to dial in the exact 175-225 mm extend position on-site for pressing bearings without machining hard stops.
Variable Length Diverter
Adjusts the extend stroke on a sorting lane to accommodate different package sizes on the fly using the 50 mm trim window.
Adjustable Height Stop
Sets precise mechanical end positions for palletizing fixtures where the final extend point varies by pallet load.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X225-50 with the SAUJ100X225-50
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X225-50, order the drop-in SAUJ100X225-50, which preserves the 100 mm bore, 225 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. Choose the 50 mm adjust window if your fixture requires precise on-site extend tuning between 175 mm and 225 mm. Because this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot support sensing; if sensing is needed, select an SAUJ with the -S suffix and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent rod bearing wear. The external stop screw sets the end position but does not lock the load; maintain live air or add an external rod lock for vertical holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X225-50
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X225-50 FAQ
Yes, the SUJ100X225-50 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X225-50, offering the same 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting.
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, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 50 mm adjust window, allowing the extend stroke to be shortened from 225 mm down to 175 mm on-site.
