This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ50X100-50SFA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ50X100-50SFA 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 SUJ50X100-50SFA
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ50X100-50SFA is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ50X100-50SFA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ50X100-50SFA
The AirTAC SUJ50X100-50SFA is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an adjustable stroke, allowing you to trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site (usable range 50-100 mm from the 100 mm nominal maximum). The external stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock. This 50 mm bore delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa. It features a 1/4" port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
This SUJ unit is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ50X100-50SFA, sharing the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA mounting interface. The SAUJ upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this SUJ. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 589 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), yielding a 50 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. 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 SAUJ50X100-50SFA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAUJ50X100-50SFA 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 SUJ50X100-50SFA Is Used
Variable Depth Boring
Adjusts the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site to machine blind holes of varying depths without retooling the entire fixture.
Variable Height Carton Sealing
Trims the extend position dynamically to seal cartons of different heights, using the stop screw to set the precise end position.
Adjustable Transfer Pusher
Tunes the pusher extend distance by up to 50 mm to divert products of varying widths off a conveyor line accurately.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ50X100-50SFA with the SAUJ50X100-50SFA
To replace the discontinued SUJ50X100-50SFA, specify the SAUJ50X100-50SFA; it is a drop-in match for bore, stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA mount. When sizing both ways, the adjacent 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 50 mm adjust window is ideal when exact extend positioning varies by up to 50 mm. The -S magnet requires a sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ50X100-50SFA
- ✓ 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 SUJ50X100-50SFA FAQ
Yes, the SUJ50X100-50SFA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ50X100-50SFA, which matches the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA mounting. You will need to upgrade the position sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 50 mm bore provides 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1767 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a 200 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw allows you to shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 50-100 mm. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
