This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUD32X30TC — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUD32X30TC in place of this model. 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 SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X30TC
The AirTAC Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X30TC is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X30TC, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X30TC
The AirTAC SUD32X30TC is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder discontinued and replaced by the SAUD32X30TC. A rod exits both ends, giving equal push and pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a 32 mm bore, 1/8" port, and TC mounting.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways. The rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools. Without a magnet, this SKU cannot take a switch. Safe load is 207 N; vertical lift is 18 kg with a 2:1 margin.

| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 21 mm |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 1000 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUD32X30TC carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The SAUD32X30TC produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×30 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -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.
Where the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X30TC Is Used
Synchronized Tool Driving
Drives two opposing tools simultaneously from a single piston, utilizing the equal both-ways force to maintain balanced pressure on both ends.
Anti-Rotation Guiding
The dual-rod architecture prevents piston rotation during extension and retraction, ensuring precise linear movement for rigid guided payloads.
Compact Transfer Pushing
Fits into tight machinery spaces using its extruded aluminum profile barrel, pushing and pulling workpieces with equal 345 N force.
Replacing the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X30TC with the SAUD32X30TC
Replace the SUD32X30TC directly with the SAUD32X30TC, which matches the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and TC mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores for equal force. Choose a double rod for anti-rotation or driving two tools. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors. The cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUD32X30TC
- ✓ 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 SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X30TC FAQ
Yes, the SUD32X30TC is discontinued. The drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X30TC, which matches the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and TC mounting.
Force is equal both ways at 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/8". The cushion only decelerates; it does not hold loads.
