This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X300, 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 SU50X300 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X300, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU50X300 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 300mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa through a 1/4 inch port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU50X300 direct replacement, preserving the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for its magnetic variants, plus a SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line never had. The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X300 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAU50X300 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×300 | 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 cartons at 30-800 mm/s on packaging lines where the 982N push force at 0.5 MPa easily handles standard transit boxes.
Clears machined components from fixtures using the 300mm stroke, requiring an external guide to prevent rod bending over the long extension.
To replace the SU50X300, order the SAU50X300 with the identical 50mm bore, 300mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 1/4 inch port. Confirm your default PT thread and SC-series mounting accessories (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC) carry over directly. Since this specific SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support sensing; if you need position detection on the SAU, specify the -S option and use the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For the 300mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. If you need higher force, step up to the 63mm bore (1559N at 0.5MPa); for less force, drop to the 40mm bore (628N). The SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve if you want self-switching.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU50X300 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X300. It matches the 50mm bore, 300mm stroke, 982N force, 1/4 inch port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application.
It provides 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 200 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor; magnetic SAU replacements use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU50X300 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
