This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ100X50-20, 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 Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ100X50-20 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ100X50-20, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ100X50-20 is a 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 30-50 mm stroke from the 50 mm nominal maximum. The stop screw strictly sets the end position; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
The direct replacement is the SAUJ100X50-20, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series FA/LB mounting. Upgrading to the SAUJ allows use of current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy SUJ used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. As this non-magnetic SKU lacks a sensor groove, it cannot take a switch.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ100X50-20 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAUJ100X50-20 produces the same force from the same bore. 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.
Allows operators to dial in the exact 30-50 mm extend position for seating bearings without swapping physical spacers.
Adjusts the extended stop finger length on the fly to accommodate different package widths on a single line.
Trims the jaw closure stroke precisely to prevent crushing varying product thicknesses during the packaging cycle.
Choose the 20 mm adjust window if your mechanism requires field-tuning the extend stroke between 30 and 50 mm. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept sensors; if sensing is needed, select an SAUJ with the -S option and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify your side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ100X50-20 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ100X50-20, which matches the 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ also supports current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The double-acting double-rod SUJ100X50-20 pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, pushing 5497 N at 0.7 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf. The external stop screw provides a 20 mm adjust window, shortening the 50 mm nominal extend stroke down to 30 mm on-site. The stop sets end position only; it is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ100X50-20 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
