This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU40X60CA, 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 Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60CA 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 SAU40X60CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU40X60CA is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. Delivering 628N push force at 0.5MPa, its direct replacement is the SAU40X60CA, which preserves the 1/4" port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and CA mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU upgrade enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on -S variants and adds a SAUF valve-integrated option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU40X60CA 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 SAU40X60CA 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). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | 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.
Ideal for mid-force clamping tasks on machining fixtures, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5MPa to secure components firmly during milling or drilling operations.
Drives short-stroke routing gates on packaging lines, where the 60mm travel and compact profile body fit neatly within tight conveyor transfer zones.
Ejects sorted goods from gravity rollers, providing reliable 377N safe working force to push cartons without damaging the exterior packaging.
To replace the SU40X60CA, order the SAU40X60CA, confirming the 1/4" port, PT/G/NPT thread choice, and CA mounting accessory. Since this non-magnetic SKU cannot hold a load without live air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety. If sizing up or down, a 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while a 50mm bore provides 982N. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU40X60CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU40X60CA. It shares the same 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, 628N force, 1/4" port, and CA mounting, so it fits your existing assembly directly.
The bore 40mm cylinder provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept magnetic sensors; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on its -S variants.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU40X60CA replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
