This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ80X500-40S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ80X500-40S 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 SUJ80X500-40S
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ80X500-40S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUJ80X500-40S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ80X500-40S
The AirTAC SUJ80X500-40S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, yielding a usable 460-500 mm extension out of the 500 mm nominal maximum. This discontinued unit delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, 28 mm adjustable air cushions, and a 3/8" port.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ80X500-40S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SUJ80X500-40S is discontinued; upgrading to the SAUJ swaps the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches while retaining the compact profile barrel. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push), translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ80X500-40S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAUJ80X500-40S 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 SUJ80X500-40S Is Used
Variable-Length Ejection
Tuning the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site allows a single 500 mm cylinder to eject parts of varying widths without changing the entire actuator setup.
Adjustable Transfer Stop
Trimming the extend stroke to 460 mm creates a precise, field-adjustable physical stop for diverging package sizes on a transfer line.
Variable-Depth Palletizing
The 40 mm on-site adjust window accommodates slight variations in pallet depth or load protrusion, ensuring consistent positioning without re-mounting hardware.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ80X500-40S with the SAUJ80X500-40S
To replace the discontinued SUJ80X500-40S, order the drop-in SAUJ80X500-40S, which preserves the 80 mm bore, 500 mm max stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighbouring 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, compared to this unit's 2513 N. Choose the 40 mm adjust window if your extend stroke needs field tuning between 460 and 500 mm. Because the -S suffix denotes a piston magnet, swap the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUJ. For this 500 mm long stroke, support the load with external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The stop screw sets end position but is not a lock; add an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ80X500-40S
- ✓ 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 SUJ80X500-40S FAQ
Yes, the SUJ80X500-40S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ80X500-40S, which matches the 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The double-acting single-rod unit delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 40 mm adjust window, allowing you to trim the extend stroke from the 500 mm maximum down to 460 mm on-site. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
