This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X560SH, 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 SU50X560SH
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X560SH is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 560mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X560SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X560SH
The AirTAC SU50X560SH is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 560mm stroke. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU50X560SH, a direct upgrade retaining the exact body, 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. This -H variant uses Viton seals for 0-150 C heat, while the -S magnet enabled legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The SAU successor modernizes sensing with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches and adds an optional SAUF valve-integrated body the SU lacked. At 560mm, the stroke is within standard limits but demands external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X560SH 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 SAU50X560SH 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 SU50X560SH Is Used
Hot Product Diversion
Pushes heated molded parts off a belt using the 560mm reach and Viton seals rated for 150 C ambient industrial heat.
Oven Door Automation
Actuates thermal chamber doors where the -H FKM seals survive sustained 150 C environments and standard cushions soften end impacts.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X560SH with the SAU50X560SH
To replace the SU50X560SH, order the SAU50X560SH direct: verify the 50mm bore, 560mm stroke, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounts match your jig. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAU. The -H Viton seal provides 0-150 C thermal endurance. If you need more force, the 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less, the 40mm gives 628 N. For the 560mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending. The cylinder will not hold a load without air; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety, as cushions only decelerate. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU50X560SH
- ✓ 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 SU50X560SH FAQ
Yes, the SU50X560SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU50X560SH. It shares the identical 50mm bore, 560mm stroke, 1/4" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. You must upgrade your -S sensors from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" port and M16x1.5 rod thread. It generates 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
