This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUJ80X500-75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUJ80X500-75S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ80X500-75S 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 SAUJ80X500-75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ80X500-75S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 75 mm on-site, yielding a usable 425-500 mm window from the 500 mm nominal maximum. Built with a compact extruded aluminum profile barrel, it delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a 3/8" port and a 25 mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread. This unit is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ80X500-75S, retaining the same force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 128 kg with a 2:1 margin. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a lock; a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for held loads. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAUJ replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At a 500 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to mitigate rod bending and side loads.

The SAUJ80X500-75S 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.
Dialing in the exact contact position on assemblies where material thickness varies, using the 75 mm window to avoid over-travel.
Tuning the extend distance on a sorting line to accommodate different package sizes without swapping the entire actuator.
Setting precise end stops for palletizing tools in the field, allowing 425-500 mm of travel to adapt to fixture heights.
To replace the discontinued SUJ80X500-75S, order the drop-in SAUJ80X500-75S, which matches the 80 mm bore, 500 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose the 75 mm adjust window if your application requires field-tuning the extend stroke down to 425 mm; otherwise, a fixed SAU cylinder suffices. For the -S magnet version, note the sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Because the stroke is 500 mm, ensure external guides are used to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ80X500-75S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUJ80X500-75S, which matches the 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 75 mm adjust window, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades the -S magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The double-acting single-rod cylinder has a 75 mm adjust window, allowing the 500 mm extend stroke to be shortened to 425 mm on-site. Force figures are 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. The stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock.
