This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X60S, 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 SU50X60S
The AirTAC SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X60S 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 SAU50X60S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X60S
The AirTAC SU50X60S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 60mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a 1/4" port, it is directly replaced by the SAU50X60S. This direct upgrade shares the exact bore, stroke, force, port size, and SC-series mounting, ensuring a seamless swap without mechanical alterations.
The -S magnet on this legacy unit functions with CS1-B/DS1-B switches; upgrading to the SAU requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Additionally, the SAU line introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the SU series never offered.

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 SAU50X60S 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 SU50X60S Is Used
Package Diverting
Actuates routing gates on 50mm belt conveyors, utilizing the 60mm stroke to push parcels smoothly into sorting lanes.
Pallet Stopping
Functions as a compact pneumatic stop for roller conveyors, holding goods steady until the downstream packaging station is ready.
Clamp Actuation
Drives short-stroke clamping arms in CNC fixturing, providing reliable 982N holding force at 0.5MPa within a tight machine footprint.
Replacing the Airtac SU32~50 Standard Cylinder SU50X60S with the SAU50X60S
To replace this SU50X60S, order the SAU50X60S and verify your 1/4" port threads (PT, G, or NPT) alongside your SC-series mounting hardware, which remains fully compatible. Because this SKU includes a magnet, you must account for the sensor family change: legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not fit the new cylinder, so upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If your application needs integrated flow control, consider the SAUF variant with its built-in valve. For load holding, remember a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. When sizing alternatives, a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore provides 1559N, allowing you to step up or down if your 982N requirement changes.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU50X60S
- ✓ 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 SU50X60S FAQ
Yes, the SU50X60S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X60S. It shares the identical 50mm bore, 60mm stroke, 1/4" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so no mechanical changes are required. However, if your original unit had the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" air port and a 20mm piston rod. At 0.5MPa it provides 982N push and 825N pull force. At 0.7MPa the push increases to 1374N, and at 0.9MPa it reaches 1767N. The theoretical maximum force is 200kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed ranges from 30-800mm/s.
