This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ32X160-50S, 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 SUJ32X160-50S 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 SAUJ32X160-50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ32X160-50S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, yielding a usable 110-160 mm extension from the 160 mm nominal maximum. The compact extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This SUJ32X160-50S unit is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAUJ32X160-50S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock; external rod locks are needed for held loads. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

The SAUJ32X160-50S 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.
Allows operators to dial in exact extend positions between 110 and 160 mm for parts of varying widths without swapping the entire cylinder.
Provides on-site stroke tuning to accommodate different package sizes on a packaging line, ensuring precise ejection force at the required length.
Enables rapid iteration of clamping reach during fixture development, letting engineers trim the 50 mm window to find the optimal holding point.
To replace the discontinued SUJ32X160-50S, select the direct replacement SAUJ32X160-50S, which retains the 32 mm bore, 160 mm nominal stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 50 mm adjust window if your mechanism requires field-tuning the extend stroke down to 110 mm; for shorter trims, a smaller adjust figure minimizes screw protrusion. Because this unit has the -S magnet, you must upgrade from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUJ. For this 160 mm stroke, ensure side-load alignment is within the SC-series mounting tolerances to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ32X160-50S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ32X160-50S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 160 mm nominal stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You will need to upgrade the -S magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The external stop screw provides a 50 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the extend stroke on-site from the 160 mm maximum down to 110 mm. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ32X160-50S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
