This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X465S, 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 SU50X465S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 465mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X465S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU50X465S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 50mm bore, 465mm stroke, and a piston magnet. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU50X465S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact 50mm bore, 465mm stroke, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting.
This extruded aluminum profile body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The SAU upgrade switches the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve variant the SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X465S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAU50X465S 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.
Actuates diverting arms on 50 kg packaging lines, utilizing the 465mm stroke to push cartons cleanly between adjacent conveyor belts.
Controls pallet entry at workstations; the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably halts standard warehouse pallets without bouncing.
Lowers light tooling fixtures onto clamps, taking advantage of the compact profile body to save vertical space in tight assembly cells.
To replace this discontinued SU50X465S, order the SAU50X465S direct equivalent, verifying your 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this unit has an -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. If you need integrated flow control, explore the SAUF valve-integrated variant. For the 465mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. If downsizing, a 40mm bore yields 628 N push; if upsizing, a 63mm bore provides 1559 N.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SU50X465S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU50X465S. It shares the identical 50mm bore, 465mm stroke, 1/4" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
The 50mm bore generates 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 200 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet on this legacy SU worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU50X465S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
