This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU40X560S, 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 SU40X560S
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X560S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 560mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU40X560S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X560S
The AirTAC SU40X560S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 560 mm stroke. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/4" port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU40X560S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it originally used CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU family also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU40X560S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAU40X560S 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 SU40X560S Is Used
Diverting Gate Actuation
Drives routing flaps on packaging lines, utilizing the 560 mm stroke to reach across wider belt lanes while providing 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Long-Reach Ejection
Pushes completed parts out of a machining zone, where the compact profile body saves space and the 560 mm extension clears secondary clamping fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X560S with the SAU40X560S
To replace this discontinued SU40X560S, order the SAU40X560S direct equivalent, confirming the 40 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, 1/4" port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). If your machine used the -S magnet for positioning, note the sensor family changes from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAU. For loads needing secure holding without live air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the adjustable cushions only decelerate. Given the 560 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. If downsizing, a 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU40X560S
- ✓ 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 SU40X560S FAQ
Yes, the SU40X560S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU40X560S. It matches the 40 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting accessories. You just swap the cylinder; the SAU also upgrades the magnet sensor compatibility to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
This double-acting cylinder operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa) with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s. Force output is 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 16 mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions at both ends.
