This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ32X160-30S, 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 Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ32X160-30S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ32X160-30S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ32X160-30S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, giving a usable 130-160 mm window from the 160 mm nominal maximum. The compact extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The bore dictates a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread.
Because this model is end-of-life, the direct replacement is the SAUJ32X160-30S, which keeps the same body, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. Two key upgrades come with the SAUJ family: the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors used on this -S magnet model are replaced by current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and the SAU line adds a built-in-valve variant the SU series lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ32X160-30S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAUJ32X160-30S 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.
Testing stations that need precise probe contact depth can use the 30 mm adjust window to dial in the exact extend position without reprogramming the motion controller.
Sorting diverters handling mixed package sizes can field-trim the actuator stroke from 160 mm down to 130 mm to accommodate changing line requirements on the fly.
Light assembly presses use the external stop screw to set a rigid, repeatable end position for different product heights while maintaining the full retract stroke.
To replace the discontinued SUJ32X160-30S, order the direct replacement SAUJ32X160-30S, which preserves the 32 mm bore, 160 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 30 mm adjust window if you need to tune the extend stroke down to 130 mm on-site; remember the stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock. For the -S magnet version, you must switch from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the 160 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm? No, but at 160 mm side-load is minimal; however, for longer strokes always confirm the rod bearing can handle the side-load. Mounting is compatible with the AirTAC SC series only.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ32X160-30S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ32X160-30S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You will need to upgrade the -S magnet sensors from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The external stop screw provides a 30 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the extend stroke from the 160 mm nominal maximum down to 130 mm. The stop sets end position only; it is not a load lock.
