This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ63X40-20 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ63X40-20 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 SUJ63X40-20
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X40-20 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ63X40-20, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X40-20
The AirTAC SUJ63X40-20 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, yielding a usable 20-40 mm extend window from the 40 mm nominal maximum. The 63 mm bore delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 2805 N push at 0.9 MPa. It features a 3/8" port, an M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensing switch.
This discontinued SUJ series is replaced by the drop-in SAUJ63X40-20, retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series FA/LB mounting compatibility. The compact profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The SAUJ upgrade transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, leaving behind the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that the stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, and a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAUJ63X40-20 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 SUJ63X40-20 Is Used
Variable Pitch Indexing
Ideal for pushing parts to a stop where the exact extend distance requires field tuning up to 20 mm to accommodate different material lengths without changing the cylinder body.
Adjustable Transfer Diverter
Perfect for diverting packages on a line when the divert stroke needs precise on-site adjustment to handle varying product widths without re-plumbing the pneumatic system.
Custom End-Stop Positioning
Used in compact assembly cells where the 63 mm bore force and a field-tuned 20-40 mm stroke window allow operators to dial in the exact contact point for delicate operations.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X40-20 with the SAUJ63X40-20
To replace the discontinued SUJ63X40-20, order the drop-in SAUJ63X40-20, which preserves the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the adjacent 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 20 mm adjust window is ideal when exact end positioning varies by up to 20 mm on-site. Because this specific SKU has no magnet, you cannot mount switches; if sensing is needed, select an SAUJ with the -S option and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Since the 40 mm stroke is under 300 mm, side-load bending moments are minimal, but always guide the rod externally. The stop screw merely sets the end position and does not hold loads; use an external rod lock for pneumatic load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ63X40-20
- ✓ 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 SUJ63X40-20 FAQ
Yes, the SUJ63X40-20 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ63X40-20, which matches the 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
The 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 2805 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 20-40 mm. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
