This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X60, 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 SU50X60 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU50X60, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU50X60 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 60mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa, it features an extruded aluminium barrel and adjustable air cushions at both ends. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU50X60, a direct alternative retaining the exact 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, output force and SC-series mounting footprint.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept position sensors. If sensing is needed, the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B type. The SAU family also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the original SU line never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X60 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 SAU50X60 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -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.
Ideal for holding workpieces during machining, providing 982N of clamping force at 0.5MPa within a compact 60mm stroke envelope.
Drives short-stroke routing gates on packaging lines, where the 50mm bore delivers swift actuation without overwhelming the gate mechanism.
Executes rapid part ejection from assembly stations, utilising adjustable end cushions to decelerate the 20mm rod smoothly at stroke completion.
To replace the SU50X60, order the SAU50X60 ensuring your 1/4" port threads (PT/G/NPT) and SC-series mounting accessories match. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support switches; if you need sensing, select an SAU-S model and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B. For loads needing 1374N at 0.7MPa, the 50mm bore is ideal, but if you only need 628N, step down to a 40mm bore to save space. Remember, a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates the stroke end—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. For applications requiring integrated flow control, explore the SAUF valve-cylinder variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU50X60 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X60. It shares the same 50mm bore, 60mm stroke, 982N force at 0.5MPa, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits directly into your existing setup.
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/4" air port and an M16x1.5 rod thread. It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept position sensors.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU50X60 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
