This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X460SH, 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 SU50X460SH
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X460SH 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 SAU50X460SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X460SH
The AirTAC SU50X460SH is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 460mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a high-temp Viton H seal rated for 0-150 C. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU50X460SH direct replacement, matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to replace this model's legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, and adds an optional SAUF built-in 4M valve. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for load holding. At 460mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X460SH 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 SAU50X460SH 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 SU50X460SH Is Used
Hot End Ejection
Uses the Viton H high-temp seal to push parts out of 150 C molding zones, applying 982 N of force at 0.5 MPa.
Long Transfer Diverter
Extends 460mm to reroute heavy packages on a line, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X460SH with the SAU50X460SH
To replace this discontinued SU50X460SH, order the SAU50X460SH direct: confirm the 50mm bore, 460mm stroke, 1/4" port, M16x1.5 thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must switch from CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the SAU's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The -H Viton seal provides 0-150 C heat resistance. For sizing alternatives, a 40mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559 N. The 460mm stroke requires external guides to manage side loads and prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushions only decelerate. For secure holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. If valve integration is needed, explore the SAUF variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU50X460SH
- ✓ 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 SU50X460SH FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU50X460SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU50X460SH. It shares the same 50mm bore, 460mm stroke, 1/4" port, force, and SC-series mounting. You must upgrade your sensors: the SU's legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU.
This double-acting profile cylinder has a 1/4" port. It generates 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 max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
