This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X460S, 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 SU50X460S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 460mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X460S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU50X460S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 460mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, its extruded aluminum body is more compact than an ISO 15552 unit of the same size. AirTAC replaced it with the exact direct replacement SAU50X460S: identical bore, stroke, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade retains the body dimensions but moves to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; your old CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not carry over. The SAU line also adds a SAUF valve-integrated option the SU lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X460S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAU50X460S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×460 | 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.
Clears machined parts from a fixture using 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
To replace this SU50X460S, order the SAU50X460S. Verify your 1/4" port thread (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. A non-magnetized SKU cannot accept any sensor. If you need higher force, the 63mm bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less is needed, the 40mm bore provides 628 N. For the 460mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending under side loads. The cushion only decelerates; use a rod lock or pilot check valve to hold loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU50X460S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X460S. It shares the same 50mm bore, 460mm stroke, 1/4" port, output force, and SC-series mounting.
The 50mm bore provides 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 200 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. Because your SU has the -S magnet, note that the SAU replacement requires new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU50X460S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
