This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X250-50, 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.
Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ40X250-50
The AirTAC Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ40X250-50 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 SAUJ40X250-50, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ40X250-50
The AirTAC SUJ40X250-50 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 200-250 mm extension out of the 250 mm nominal maximum. This compact extruded barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This SUJ model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X250-50, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this SKU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B) and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant the SU line lacked. Note: this non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch, and the stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X250-50 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAUJ40X250-50 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.
Where the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ40X250-50 Is Used
Variable Pitch Pushing
Feeding blanks of differing lengths on a line by dialing the extend stroke within the 50 mm window without swapping actuators.
Adjustable Diverter Gate
Tuning a sorting gate's reach on-site to handle changing package widths, using the 1/4" port cylinder to dial in the exact 200-250 mm extension.
Replacing the Airtac SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ40X250-50 with the SAUJ40X250-50
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X250-50, order the direct replacement SAUJ40X250-50; the bore, stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting remain identical. Choose the 50 mm adjust window when you need field tuning of the extend stroke from 200 to 250 mm; the external stop sets the end position but is not a lock, so add an external rod lock for held loads. Because this non-magnet SKU lacks a switch, migrate to an SAUJ-S version with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if position detection is required. For this 250 mm stroke, verify side-load limits on the M12x1.25 rod.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUJ40X250-50
- ✓ 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 SUJ Adjustable Cylinder SUJ40X250-50 FAQ
Yes, the SUJ40X250-50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X250-50, which matches the 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
The double-acting double-rod 40 mm bore has a 1/4" port and an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site (usable 200-250 mm). The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
