This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU50X60TC, 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 SU50X60TC 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 SAU50X60TC, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU50X60TC is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 50mm bore and 60mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa through a 1/4" port, its extruded aluminum body is more compact than an ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU50X60TC, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port size, and SC-series TC mounting interface.
This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor. Upgrading to the SAU brings current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch compatibility and the option of the SAUF built-in valve variant, which the SU line lacked. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU50X60TC 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 SAU50X60TC 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.
Actuates a TC-mounted diverting arm on a packaging line, using the 982N push force at 0.5MPa to push cartons firmly onto adjacent belts.
Provides reliable clamping pressure for light machining fixtures, where the 50kg vertical lift capacity securely holds components in place.
Operates a pneumatic stopper gate for pallet sorting, leveraging the compact profile body to fit within tight conveyor framework clearances.
To replace the SU50X60TC, order the SAU50X60TC, matching the 50mm bore, 60mm stroke, 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and TC mounting. This non-magnet version cannot hold a sensor, but if sensing is added on the SAU, it uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For forces exceeding 982N at 0.5MPa, step up to a 63mm bore; for lighter loads, a 40mm bore provides 628N. Because the 60mm stroke is short, side-load risks are minimal, but remember the air cushions only decelerate the piston and do not hold loads on air loss—install a pilot-operated check valve if needed. The SAUF valve-integrated variant is available if you want to simplify machine plumbing.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SU50X60TC is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU50X60TC. It shares the same 50mm bore, 60mm stroke, 982N output force at 0.5MPa, 1/4" port, and TC mounting, so it fits the same application without modification.
The 50mm bore generates 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor. If you need sensing on the SAU replacement, it uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU50X60TC replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
