This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ63X400-50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ63X400-50S 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 SUJ63X400-50S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X400-50S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ63X400-50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X400-50S
The AirTAC SUJ63X400-50S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, yielding a usable 350-400 mm stroke from the 400 mm nominal maximum. This 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 SUJ model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ63X400-50S, sharing the same body, bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), translating to a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAUJ upgrade adopts current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used here, and the stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock. On a 400 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending. 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 SAUJ63X400-50S 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 SAUJ63X400-50S 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 SUJ63X400-50S Is Used
Variable-Length Ejection
Tuning the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site allows an ejection arm to adapt to mixed product lengths without re machining the fixture.
Adjustable Diverter Gate
A 400 mm extend stroke can be precisely shortened to set the exact gate open position for diverting varying box widths on a packaging line.
Multi-Position Stacking
Trimming the stroke on the fly lets a single cylinder lower stacks to different heights, accommodating varied pallet patterns without swapping cylinders.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ63X400-50S with the SAUJ63X400-50S
To replace the discontinued SUJ63X400-50S, order the drop-in SAUJ63X400-50S, retaining the 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, and 3/8" port. If resizing, the 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push. Choose the -50 mm adjust window if your fixture needs up to 50 mm of on-site extend trimming. Mounting uses FA or LB brackets compatible with the AirTAC SC series. Because this unit has the -S magnet, you must migrate from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUJ. At 400 mm stroke, account for side-load and rod-bending by adding external guides to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ63X400-50S
- ✓ 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 SUJ63X400-50S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ63X400-50S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ63X400-50S, which shares the same 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the 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. The external stop screw window is 50 mm, allowing you to shorten the 400 mm extend stroke down to 350 mm on-site. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
