This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X275-40S, 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 SUJ40X275-40S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 275mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X275-40S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X275-40S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, yielding a usable 235-275 mm extend window from the 275 mm nominal maximum.
This discontinued unit is fully replaced by the direct replacement SAUJ40X275-40S, which retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and SC-series FA/LB mounting. The upgrade shifts legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so add an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X275-40S 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 SAUJ40X275-40S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -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.
Tuning the extend stroke on-site by up to 40 mm allows a packaging line to alter box flap folding pitch without swapping cylinders.
The 235-275 mm extend window lets an operator manually dial in the exact stop position for varying product lengths on a conveyor.
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 40 mm accommodates different bin heights, ensuring precise filling without reprogramming the motion controller.
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X275-40S, order the exact direct replacement SAUJ40X275-40S to keep the 40 mm bore, 275 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounts. Choose the 40 mm adjust window if you need on-site tuning of the extend end position; for fixed points, a standard SAU cylinder suffices. Because this unit has the -S magnet, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUJ. At 275 mm stroke, verify side-load alignment to prevent rod binding. The stop screw trims stroke but does not lock the load—use a pilot-operated check valve for holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ40X275-40S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X275-40S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 275 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The external stop screw provides a 40 mm adjust window, allowing the extend stroke to be shortened on-site from the 275 mm maximum down to 235 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 SAUJ40X275-40S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
