This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X500-75S, 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 SUJ40X500-75S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X500-75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X500-75S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 75 mm on-site, yielding a usable 425-500 mm stroke from the 500 mm nominal maximum. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 40 mm bore. This series is DISCONTINUED; the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X500-75S, which matches the bore, stroke, force, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting.
The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAUJ replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock—external air is required to hold position.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X500-75S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

The SAUJ40X500-75S 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.
Tuning the extend stroke by up to 75 mm on-site to eject parts of varying sizes from a machine without swapping the entire cylinder.
Acting as a movable end-stop on a conveyor line where the 425-500 mm reach must be fine-tuned for different package widths.
Trimming the extend stroke on packaging equipment to push cartons accurately into sealing stations based on box dimensions.
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X500-75S, use the direct replacement SAUJ40X500-75S, retaining the 40 mm bore, 500 mm max stroke, 75 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 75 mm adjust window when you need on-site extend trimming between 425 and 500 mm without machining. The -S magnet version transitions from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUJ. For this 500 mm long stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads. Remember the adjust stop sets end position only; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding on air loss.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ40X500-75S is discontinued. The SAUJ 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 75 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 425-500 mm from the 500 mm nominal maximum. 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 SAUJ40X500-75S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
