This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU40X600TC, 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.

The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X600TC is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU40X600TC, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU40X600TC is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 40mm bore and 600mm stroke. It delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa through a 1/4" port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU40X600TC, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port size, and SC-series TC mounting interface.
The SAU replacement modernizes sensing by adopting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, whereas this legacy SU used CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Furthermore, the SAU line introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU series lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU40X600TC carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAU40X600TC produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×600 | 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.
Pushes packages across a 600mm transfer belt using the 628N push force at 0.5MPa, guided externally to prevent rod bending.
Ejects molded parts from a 40mm bore profile body, dropping directly into the SAU40X600TC without altering the TC mount bracket.
To replace the SU40X600TC, order the SAU40X600TC, confirming the 40mm bore, 600mm stroke, 1/4" port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and TC mounting. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a magnetic sensor; if position detection is required, you must select an SAU model with the -S option and use current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If downsizing, a 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa; if upsizing, a 50mm bore provides 982N. For the 600mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF valve-integrated option is available if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SU40X600TC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU40X600TC. It shares the identical 40mm bore, 600mm stroke, 628N force, 1/4" port, and SC-series TC mounting, fitting the same application directly.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 879N, and the theoretical maximum is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot accept a sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if sensing is needed.
