This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X292S, 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 SU50X292S
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X292S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 292mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X292S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X292S
The AirTAC SU50X292S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 292 mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses an extruded aluminum barrel that is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU50X292S direct replacement, retaining the exact 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
When migrating to the SAU50X292S, the body dimensions and 21 mm adjustable cushions at both ends remain identical. Note that the -S magnet on this old SU worked with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAU successor requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU series never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X292S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAU50X292S 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 SU50X292S Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes cartons at 30-800 mm/s on packaging lines, utilizing the 982 N push force to redirect moderate loads smoothly onto adjacent chutes.
Pallet Stop Gates
Acts as a pneumatic stop for pallets, where the 50 kg vertical lift capacity and 292 mm stroke provide reliable positioning without overshooting.
Component Clamping
Secures aluminum extrusions during machining operations, taking advantage of the 21 mm adjustable cushions to soften end-of-stroke impacts.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X292S with the SAU50X292S
To replace the SU50X292S, order the SAU50X292S direct equivalent, verifying your 1/4" port thread (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting brackets (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC). Because this 292 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm guidelines, ensure adequate side-load support to prevent rod bending and use a guide rail for heavy loads. If stepping up is needed, a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N. The -S magnet means you must upgrade your sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not hold load on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety. Consider the SAUF valve-integrated variant if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU50X292S
- ✓ 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 SU50X292S FAQ
Yes, the SU50X292S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X292S. It matches the 50 mm bore, 292 mm stroke, 982 N force at 0.5 MPa, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting. You must only swap the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The 50 mm bore features a 1/4" air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. Force output is 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1767 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cushion only decelerates the load; it does not hold position without live air.
