This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X360, 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 SU50X360
The AirTAC Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X360 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 360mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X360, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X360
The AirTAC SU50X360 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 360mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a 1/4" port, it is replaced by the SAU50X360 direct equivalent. This upgrade retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and SC-series mounting, ensuring a seamless retrofit.
The SAU replacement introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (replacing the old CS1-B/DS1-B) and offers a new SAUF built-in-valve option. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept switches. At 360mm, external guides prevent rod bending.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X360 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 SAU50X360 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 SU50X360 Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons at 90 degrees on a sorting line using the 982N thrust class.
Pallet Positioning
Indexes empty pallets into a wrapping station, utilizing the 360mm stroke for clearance.
Clamp Actuation
Drives a secondary clamping arm on a machining fixture where 50kg vertical lift is required.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X360 with the SAU50X360
To replace the SU50X360, order the SAU50X360 direct: confirm the 50mm bore, 360mm stroke, 1/4" port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Reuse your existing SC-series mounts. Since this is a no-S SKU, it cannot take a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU-S magnet and upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Sizing both ways: a 40mm bore yields 628N push, while a 63mm bore yields 1559N. The 360mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a rod lock for held loads. The SAUF valve-integrated variant is an option if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU50X360
- ✓ 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 SU50X360 FAQ
Yes, the SU50X360 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU50X360, which matches the 50mm bore, 360mm stroke, 982N force, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, and a 200kgf max at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor. If sensing is needed, order the SAU-S variant which uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
