This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ32X500-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ32X500-10S 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 SUJ32X500-10S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X500-10S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ32X500-10S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X500-10S
The AirTAC SUJ32X500-10S 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 490-500 mm extension out of the 500 mm nominal maximum. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. This bore delivers 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a 1/8" port and M10x1.25 rod thread.
This SUJ model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ32X500-10S, which shares the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit uses CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of rated force), or a vertical lift capacity of approximately 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that 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 SAUJ32X500-10S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The SAUJ32X500-10S 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 SUJ32X500-10S Is Used
Gauge Positioning Stops
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site allows operators to dial in exact contact points for measuring stations without machining custom spacers.
Light Clamping Tune
Field-tuning the 490-500 mm extend stroke ensures delicate parts are clamped with precise end-position control, preventing over-travel on varied product heights.
Transfer Diverter Setup
Adjusting the stroke end position on-site lets maintenance teams quickly retime diverter arms to accommodate different package widths on the line.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X500-10S with the SAUJ32X500-10S
To replace the discontinued SUJ32X500-10S, order the drop-in SAUJ32X500-10S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. If re-sizing, neighbor bores offer different forces: at 0.5 MPa the 32 mm gives 402 N push, while the 40 mm provides 628 N. The 10 mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning the extend end position without adding an external stop. Because the -S suffix denotes a magnet, upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for the SAUJ. At 500 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by supporting side loads with external guides.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ32X500-10S
- ✓ 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 SUJ32X500-10S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ32X500-10S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ32X500-10S, which shares the same 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You will need to upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 724 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw offers a 10 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the extend stroke from 500 mm down to 490 mm. The stop sets end position but does not lock the load.
