This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X250-10, 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 SUJ40X250-10 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X250-10, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X250-10 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 250 mm maximum stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, yielding a usable 240-250 mm end position. The stop sets the end position but is not a load lock.
This SUJ model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X250-10, retaining the same force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. As this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a magnetic switch.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X250-10 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAUJ40X250-10 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×250 | 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.
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site allows operators to set an exact measurement contact point without machining spacers.
Adjusting the end position on the fly accommodates varying part tolerances, ensuring consistent clamping force without repositioning the cylinder.
Fine-tuning the 250 mm extend stroke lets a transfer line stopper match varying product widths precisely at the required halt location.
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X250-10, order the direct replacement SAUJ40X250-10, which matches the 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. The 10 mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning the extend end position without shims; the stop screw sets this position but is not a lock. Because this SKU has no magnet, it cannot accept sensors, but upgrading to an SAUJ with the -S suffix enables modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For stroke lengths of 300 mm or more, verify side-load limits to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SUJ40X250-10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X250-10, which shares the same 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ also uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, giving a usable 240-250 mm stroke. The stop sets the end position but is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ40X250-10 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
