This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU32X260S, 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 SU32X260S
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260S 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 SAU32X260S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260S
The AirTAC SU32X260S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, and a built-in piston magnet. It delivers 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/8" port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU32X260S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Note that the -S magnet on this SU worked with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAU replacement utilizes current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the SAU line adds a SAUF built-in valve option the SU never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU32X260S 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 SAU32X260S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Sort small boxes on a line at 30-800 mm/s, using the 260 mm stroke to reach across a narrow transfer belt without requiring ISO 15552 bulk.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X260S with the SAU32X260S
To replace this SU32X260S, order the SAU32X260S and confirm the 32 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must switch from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors used on the SAU. If your application needs self-switching, explore the SAUF variant with its built-in 4M solenoid valve. Sizing both ways: stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while dropping to a smaller bore reduces force. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the 21 mm cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for static holding. At 260 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always guide the load to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU32X260S
- ✓ 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 SU32X260S FAQ
Yes, the SU32X260S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU32X260S. It matches the 32 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, 402 N force at 0.5 MPa, 1/8" port, and SC-series mounting. You just order the SAU32X260S.
The 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and an 82 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. Because your old SU had the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches, the SAU replacement requires upgrading to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
