This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X50-50S, 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 SUJ40X50-50S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X50-50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X50-50S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with a 50 mm adjustable extend-stroke window, letting you trim the forward travel by up to 50 mm on-site. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is more compact than a standard cylinder of the same bore. The external stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock.
This SUJ40X50-50S model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X50-50S, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit uses CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X50-50S 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 SAUJ40X50-50S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | 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.
Allows operators to fine-tune the extend stroke on-site for different material thicknesses without swapping cylinders.
Provides a field-tunable hard stop for pressing operations where the final end position must be dialed in per batch.
Trims the extend stroke on the fly to accommodate varying package sizes on a packaging line.
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X50-50S, specify the SAUJ40X50-50S (direct with identical 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting). Choose the 50 mm adjust window if you need to trim the full nominal extend stroke on-site; remember the stop screw sets end position and is not a load lock. Because this unit has the -S magnet, upgrade your position sensing from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For any stroke over 300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SUJ40X50-50S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X50-50S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. You will need to upgrade the position 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 by up to 50 mm 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 SAUJ40X50-50S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
