This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU32X480, 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 SU32X480
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X480 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 480mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU32X480, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X480
The AirTAC SU32X480 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. It delivers 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/8" port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU32X480 direct replacement, preserving the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size and SC-series mounting footprint.
This compact extruded-aluminium body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Note that this no-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor, and while the SAU upgrade retains all mechanics, it switches to modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for its -S variants and adds a SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU32X480 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 SAU32X480 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 SU32X480 Is Used
Component Ejection
Uses the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject small machined parts from a fixture, relying on the 21 mm adjustable cushion to soften end-of-stroke impact.
Package Diverting
Actuates a routing gate on a packaging line, where the 480 mm stroke provides full travel to redirect boxes without requiring a larger bore size.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X480 with the SAU32X480
To replace the SU32X480, order the SAU32X480 ensuring your 1/8" port threads (PT/G/NPT) and SC-series mounting accessories match. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU32X480-S and upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For loads needing 563 N at 0.7 MPa, the 32 mm bore is adequate, but if pushing heavier payloads, consider the 40 mm bore offering 628 N. A 480 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod requires external guides to prevent side-load bending. Finally, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate—so use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU32X480
- ✓ 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 SU32X480 FAQ
Yes, the SU32X480 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU32X480. It shares the identical 32 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 402 N force, 1/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it drops right into the same application.
The 32 mm bore generates 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 this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the SAU-S replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
