This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU32X5, 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 SU32X5
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X5 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU32X5, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X5
The AirTAC SU32X5 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 32mm bore and 5mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5MPa via a 1/8" port, offering a compact extruded aluminum body shorter than same-bore ISO 15552 units. AirTAC replaced this EOL model with the SAU32X5, a direct retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The SAU upgrade enables modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on magnetized variants, plus a new SAUF built-in-valve option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU32X5 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 SAU32X5 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 SU32X5 Is Used
Miniature Ejection
Suitable for ejecting lightweight molded parts from tight tooling cavities, utilizing the compact 32mm profile body to fit within restricted machinery envelopes.
Gate Diverting
Used in small pneumatic diverter gates to redirect thin materials or powders, offering fast 30-800 mm/s actuation in confined packaging layouts.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU32X5 with the SAU32X5
To replace this discontinued SU32X5, order the SAU32X5 direct equivalent, matching the 32mm bore, 5mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, and 1/8" port. Since this specific SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support sensing; if you need position detection, specify an SAU32X5-S and migrate from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For higher force needs, neighboring bores (40mm yields 628N push at 0.5MPa) are an option. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate—so use an external rod lock for held loads. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve if space is tight.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU32X5
- ✓ 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 SU32X5 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU32X5 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU32X5. It shares the same 32mm bore, 5mm stroke, 1/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
It delivers 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the SAU replacement supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on its -S variants. The cushions only decelerate, so use a rod lock for load holding.
