This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ100X250-20, 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 SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X250-20 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ100X250-20, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ100X250-20 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, yielding a usable 230 to 250 mm extend range from the 250 mm nominal maximum. It features a 1/2" port, a 25 mm rod, and 29 mm adjustable cushions. The direct replacement is the SAUJ100X250-20, sharing the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
Two key upgrade notes: the SAUJ successor uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, and the SAU family adds an SAUF built-in-valve variant the SU line lacked. Remember the stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so add an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X250-20 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAUJ100X250-20 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -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.
Allows operators to dial in the exact 230 to 250 mm extend position on-site for pressing bearings without machining hard stops.
Adjusts the extend stroke by up to 20 mm to accommodate different package sizes on a sorting line without swapping cylinders.
Fine-tunes the end position of a pallet stop gate in real-time as pallet heights or transfer requirements change.
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X250-20, order the SAUJ100X250-20 (insert A after S). The -20 mm adjust window allows field trimming of the extend stroke down to 230 mm; choose a larger window if you need deeper shortening. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a switch; the SAUJ -S variant adds sensing via CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (replacing legacy CS1-B/DS1-B). For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ100X250-20 is discontinued. The SAUJ also uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The external stop screw provides a 20 mm adjust window, allowing you to trim the extend stroke from 250 mm down to 230 mm on-site. The stop sets end position only and is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ100X250-20 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
