This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ32X500-30S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ32X500-30S 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 SUJ32X500-30S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X500-30S 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 SAUJ32X500-30S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X500-30S
The AirTAC SUJ32X500-30S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, yielding a usable 470-500 mm extend out of the 500 mm nominal maximum. It features a 32 mm bore, a 1/8" port, and delivers 402 N push / 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This compact extruded barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock.
As this SUJ model is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ32X500-30S, retaining the same force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors used here are superseded by current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUJ. For sizing, the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa implies a safe working load around 241 N, or a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ32X500-30S 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 SAUJ32X500-30S 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 SUJ32X500-30S Is Used
Variable Pitch Indexing
A packaging line that requires on-site stroke tuning to shift a pusher pin between product sizes without swapping the entire actuator.
Adjustable Transfer Stop
A conveyor divert station where the external stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to handle varying box depths on the fly.
Calibrated Ejector Pin
An assembly cell needing precise end-position adjustment for a 470-500 mm ejection stroke to accommodate part tolerance variations.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X500-30S with the SAUJ32X500-30S
To replace the SUJ32X500-30S, order the drop-in SAUJ32X500-30S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 40 mm bore offers higher force (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need overhead, while the 32 mm bore itself provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose the 30 mm adjust window if your mechanism requires field-tuning the extend stroke down to 470 mm; this is often preferable to a fixed SAU plus an external stop. Because this unit has a -S magnet, you must upgrade from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At a 500 mm stroke, minimize side-load and rod-bending forces by using external guides to support the piston rod.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ32X500-30S
- ✓ 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 SUJ32X500-30S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ32X500-30S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ32X500-30S, 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.
This double-acting single-rod cylinder has a 1/8" port and a 30 mm adjust window (usable extend stroke 470-500 mm). Force figures are 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, 724 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop sets end position but is not a load lock.
