This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU32X460S, 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 SU32X460S
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X460S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 460mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU32X460S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X460S
The AirTAC SU32X460S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, and a 1/8" port. It delivers 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU32X460S, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
When upgrading, note the SAU32X460S uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S SKU, and the SAU line adds a SAUF built-in-valve option. The 460 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU32X460S 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 SAU32X460S produces the same force from the same bore. 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 SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X460S Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Uses the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject light machined components from a fixture, relying on the 460 mm reach to clear the work area completely.
Package Diverting
Actuates a routing gate along a packaging line, where the 20 kg vertical lift capacity handles the arm weight and the long stroke pushes cartons to the secondary lane.
Light Tray Sorting
Sorts shallow inventory trays into distribution chutes, with the compact 32 mm profile saving space while the 460 mm stroke ensures full diversion across the belt.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X460S with the SAU32X460S
To replace this discontinued SU32X460S, order the SAU32X460S, confirming the 32 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this is a -S magnet model, you must switch from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the SAU's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If you need integrated flow control, explore the SAUF variant with its built-in 4M solenoid valve. Due to the 460 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU32X460S
- ✓ 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 SU32X460S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU32X460S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU32X460S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 460 mm stroke, 402 N force, 1/8" port, and SC-series mounting. You can install the SAU without modifying the machine.
The cylinder provides 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. Because your SU has a -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, the SAU replacement requires upgrading to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
