This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X115S, 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 SU50X115S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 115mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X115S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU50X115S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 115mm stroke. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU50X115S, a direct alternative retaining the exact 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting footprint.
Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it originally used legacy CS1-B or DS1-B reed switches; upgrading to the SAU requires migrating to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic sensors. The SAU family also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve for self-switching, an option the SU line never offered. The extruded aluminum profile remains shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, while the adjustable 21mm air cushions at both ends merely decelerate the piston without holding the load.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAU50X115S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×115 | 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.
Secures workpieces during machining with 982 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa, providing stable holding without over-stressing lighter fixtures.
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines where a compact 115mm stroke and 50 kg vertical lift capacity quickly redirect cartons between belts.
Raises lightweight pallet stops or product elevators, utilizing the extruded profile body to fit neatly within tight conveyor framework.
To replace the SU50X115S, order the SAU50X115S and verify your 1/4" port threads (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting hardware (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC). Since this is an -S magnet model, plan to swap your old CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the 50mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, step down to a 40mm bore (628 N), or move up to a 63mm bore (1559 N) for heavier loads. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. At 115mm stroke, rod bending is minimal, but always guide the load to prevent side-loading.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU50X115S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X115S, which matches the 50mm bore, 115mm stroke, 1/4" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 982 N and pulls 825 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 1374 N, with a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet on this legacy SU works with CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU50X115S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
