This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAUD32X60S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAUD32X60S 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 SUD32X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X60S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X60S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X60S
The AirTAC SUD32X60S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder featuring a 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, and a 1/8" port. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal both ways at 345N @0.5 MPa, 483N @0.7 MPa, and 621N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X60S, retaining the same body, force, and mounting.
The dual-rod design prevents rotation and allows driving two tools simultaneously, while the rear rod acts as a sensor cam for the built-in magnet (-S). Using the 345N @0.5 MPa figure, the safe working load is approximately 207N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 18kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the SAUD upgrade transitions from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUD32X60S 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 SAUD32X60S 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.
Model Code: Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X60S
| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | 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 SUD32X60S Is Used
Dual-Tool Driving
Simultaneously operates two independent grippers or end-effectors from one compact 32mm bore body, ensuring equal force both ways.
Anti-Rotation Lifts
Prevents piston twist during vertical elevation of 18kg loads, maintaining strict alignment without external guide rails.
Symmetrical Transfer
Pushes and pulls workpiece pallets on a conveyor belt with identical 345N force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions.
Replacing the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD32X60S with the SAUD32X60S
To replace the discontinued SUD32X60S, use the drop-in SAUD32X60S which matches the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting options. When sizing both ways, verify if neighbouring bores offer the required equal both ways force, and choose a double-rod setup when anti-rotation or driving two tools is necessary. For the -S magnet version, upgrade sensors from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For strokes >=300mm, account for side-load line deflection. Remember that cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUD32X60S
- ✓ 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 SUD32X60S FAQ
Yes, the SUD32X60S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X60S, which shares the same 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, equal both ways force, and 1/8" port. You only need to upgrade the -S sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 345N @0.5 MPa, 483N @0.7 MPa, and 621N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/8" PT. The safe working load is roughly 207N, allowing a vertical lift of about 18kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
