This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ63X40-20S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ63X40-20S 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 SUJ63X40-20S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X40-20S 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 SAUJ63X40-20S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X40-20S
The AirTAC SUJ63X40-20S 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, rising to 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a 3/8" port and M16x1.5 rod thread. This discontinued unit is replaced drop-in by the SAUJ63X40-20S, retaining the exact bore, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
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. A computed buyer insight: the 0.5 MPa push yields a safe working load of roughly 935 N (60% margin) or a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 factor. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, which must be upgraded to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUJ replacement.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ63X40-20S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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 SAUJ63X40-20S 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 SUJ63X40-20S Is Used
Variable Pitch Pushing
Trimming the extend stroke on-site by up to 20 mm allows a single 63 mm bore cylinder to push parts of varying widths without machining custom spacers.
Adjustable Diverter Gate
Field-tuning the extend end position lets operators reposition a sorting gate precisely along the belt line to handle changing package sizes.
Light Press Registration
Dialing in the 20 mm stop screw provides exact bottoming height for pressing bearings, accommodating different material stack thicknesses on the fly.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X40-20S with the SAUJ63X40-20S
To replace the discontinued SUJ63X40-20S, order the drop-in SAUJ63X40-20S, which preserves the 63 mm bore, 40 mm nominal stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighbouring 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose the 20 mm adjust window if your fixture needs field tuning of the extend stroke; the external stop sets end position but is not a lock. Because this unit has the -S magnet, you must migrate from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Since the 40 mm stroke is under 300 mm, side-load concerns are minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ63X40-20S
- ✓ 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 SUJ63X40-20S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ63X40-20S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ63X40-20S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the -S magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
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, creating a usable 20-40 mm extend window. The stop sets end position only and does not lock the load.
