This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ100X30-20S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ100X30-20S 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 SUJ100X30-20S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X30-20S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X30-20S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X30-20S
The AirTAC SUJ100X30-20S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable 10-30 mm extend window from the 30 mm nominal maximum. The 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa. It features a 1/2" port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable cushions. This SUJ model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X30-20S, which retains the same compact profile body, bore, force, and FA/LB mounting.
For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 2356 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Two key upgrade notes: the SAUJ replacement transitions from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the SAU line adds a built-in-valve SAUF variant the SU series lacked. Remember the stop screw sets end position only—it is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X30-20S 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 SAUJ100X30-20S 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.

| -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 SUJ100X30-20S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for clamping heavy parts where the exact contact point varies by up to 20 mm, allowing operators to dial in the 10-30 mm extend stroke on-site without swapping cylinders.
Adjustable Pressing
Provides precise downward pressing force using the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, with the external stop screw ensuring the rod bottoms out at the exact required height rather than relying on cushion alone.
Variable Length Stops
Used as an adjustable conveyor stop where product lengths change frequently, trimming the extend stroke by up to 20 mm to accommodate different package sizes on the fly.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X30-20S with the SAUJ100X30-20S
To replace the discontinued SUJ100X30-20S, order the drop-in SAUJ100X30-20S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the 80 mm neighbour bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa if space is tight, while this 100 mm bore offers 3927 N push if more force is needed. Choose the 20 mm adjust window if your assembly requires precise 10-30 mm extend tuning on-site. Because this unit has the -S magnet, upgrade your position sensing from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The stop screw defines the end position but does not lock the load; add an external rod lock for pneumatic load-holding. Side-load alignment is less critical at this 30 mm stroke, but always verify rod guidance.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ100X30-20S
- ✓ 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 SUJ100X30-20S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ100X30-20S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ100X30-20S, which shares the same 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. You will only need to upgrade the position sensors from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 100 mm bore double-acting single-rod cylinder delivers 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 nominal 30 mm extend stroke can be shortened by up to 20 mm on-site via the external stop screw, yielding a 10-30 mm usable window. The stop sets end position only and is not a load lock.
