This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU40X60, 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 SU40X60
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU40X60, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60
The AirTAC SU40X60 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. It delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa via a 1/4" port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU40X60, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The SAU replacement introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches) and offers a new SAUF built-in-valve variant. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU40X60 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 SAU40X60 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 SU40X60 Is Used
Component Clamping
Secures mid-weight machined parts during milling, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5MPa for rigid workholding.
Package Diverting
Actuates routing gates on 40mm profile lines, with the 60mm stroke providing fast, precise redirection of goods.
Pallet Stops
Functions as a pneumatic stop pin in low-profile material handling zones, dropping cleanly into SC-series brackets.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60 with the SAU40X60
To replace the SU40X60, order the SAU40X60 with the same 1/4" port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. If stepping up, a 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa; stepping down to 32mm provides 402N. This non-magnetic version cannot hold a load without live air (the 21mm cushions only decelerate), so use an external rod lock for vertical holding. The SAUF variant adds an integrated 4M valve the SU lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU40X60
- ✓ 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 SU40X60 FAQ
Yes, the SU40X60 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU40X60. It matches the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, 628N force, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting, fitting the same application directly.
At 0.5MPa it pushes 628N and pulls 528N; at 0.7MPa it pushes 879N, with a 128kgf max at 1.0MPa. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor; the SAU40X60 replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
