This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU32X260, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 260mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU32X260, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260
The AirTAC SU32X260 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 32mm bore and 260mm stroke. Delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminium barrel that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The direct replacement is the SAU32X260, matching the bore, stroke, 1/8" port and SC-series mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU upgrade introduces the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch family for -S variants and a SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU32X260 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The SAU32X260 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Package Diverting
Deploys a 260mm stroke to sort or divert small boxes on a conveyor line, fitting neatly within compact machinery envelopes thanks to the extruded profile body.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260 with the SAU32X260
To replace this discontinued SU32X260, order the SAU32X260 direct equivalent, verifying the 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread and PT/G/NPT thread choice. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch; if sensing is needed, step up to an SAU32X260S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. At 260mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. For sizing both ways: a 40mm bore offers 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while dropping to a smaller bore reduces force. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. The SAUF valve-integrated variant is available if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU32X260
- ✓ 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 SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260 FAQ
Yes, the SU32X260 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU32X260, which shares the same 32mm bore, 260mm stroke, 402 N force, 1/8" port and SC-series mounting accessories.
It delivers 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on its -S variants.
