This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU40X60S, 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 SU40X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60S 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 SAU40X60S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60S
The AirTAC SU40X60S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. Delivering 628N push force at 0.5MPa, it uses a 1/4" port and an extruded aluminum barrel that is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same size. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU40X60S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting.
The -S magnet on this legacy unit worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the SU line never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU40X60S 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 SAU40X60S 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 SU40X60S Is Used
Small Parts Clamping
Ideal for securing lightweight machined components during secondary milling or drilling operations using its 377N safe working force.
Package Diverting
Provides reliable 60mm actuation to push small cartons off a main production line onto secondary packaging branches.
Vertical Lift Stops
Functions as a compact 32kg vertical lift stop or gate mechanism, benefiting from the shorter profile body design.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU40X60S with the SAU40X60S
To replace this SU40X60S, order the SAU40X60S direct equivalent, confirming the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, 1/4" port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) match your fixture. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If your application needs integrated flow control, explore the SAUF variant which adds a built-in 4M solenoid valve. For sizing context, neighboring bores (32mm or 50mm) offer 402N or 982N push at 0.5MPa respectively. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the 21mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU40X60S
- ✓ 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 SU40X60S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU40X60S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU40X60S. It shares the same 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, 628N push force at 0.5MPa, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting, so it drops directly into your existing application.
The 40mm bore 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 is an -S magnet model, it originally used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
