This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU32X480S, 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 SU32X480S
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X480S 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 SAU32X480S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X480S
The AirTAC SU32X480S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. It delivers 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/8" port. The direct replacement is the SAU32X480S, matching the exact bore, stroke, output, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded aluminum body but switches the -S magnet compatibility from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. It also introduces the SAUF valve-integrated variant.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU32X480S 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 SAU32X480S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×480 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 SU32X480S Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded parts from a press over the 480 mm travel, requiring an external guide to prevent rod bending on the extended stroke.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X480S with the SAU32X480S
To replace this SU32X480S, order the SAU32X480S. Verify your 1/8" port thread (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting accessories, which are fully reused. Because this is an -S magnet model, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For load holding, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. With the 480 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads. If you need more force, the neighboring 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU32X480S
- ✓ 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 SU32X480S FAQ
Yes, the SU32X480S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU32X480S. It shares the same 32 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 1/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. You can swap it directly without changing your mechanical setup.
The SAU32X480S 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 model has an -S magnet, you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
