This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X45-50S, 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 SUJ40X45-50S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X45-50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X45-50S 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. With a nominal 45 mm stroke, the usable extend range is 0-45 mm. The stop sets the end position; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
This SUJ40X45-50S model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X45-50S, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X45-50S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAUJ40X45-50S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×45 | 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.
Tuning the extend stroke on-site to hit a precise product diverter angle without machining custom spacers.
Adjusting the extend stop to accommodate varying carton heights on a packing line where exact end position shifts.
Dialing in the extend contact point for delicate parts, using the 50 mm window to set the exact clamping reach.
To replace the SUJ40X45-50S, order the direct replacement SAUJ40X45-50S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 45 mm nominal stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. The 50 mm adjust window allows precise end-position tuning on-site. If your application used the -S magnet for position sensing, upgrade from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the nominal stroke is 45 mm (under 300 mm), side-load shaft deflection is minimal, but always verify guide alignment.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ40X45-50S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X45-50S, which shares the same 40 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. You only need to upgrade the position sensors from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG series.
The external stop screw provides a 50 mm adjust window to shorten the 45 mm nominal extend stroke on-site. 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 SAUJ40X45-50S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
