This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X80-20S, 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 SUJ40X80-20S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X80-20S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X80-20S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an 80 mm nominal stroke and a 20 mm external stop screw, letting you trim the extend stroke down to 60 mm on-site. This model is DISCONTINUED; the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X80-20S, retaining the same force, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting.
The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads. The SAUJ upgrade switches legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches while keeping the compact profile body shorter than standard cylinders.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X80-20S 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 SAUJ40X80-20S 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. |
| ×80 | 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 by up to 20 mm on-site to push parts of varying widths into a machining station without reprogramming the PLC.
Setting precise end positions for light pressing tasks, allowing operators to dial in the exact 60-80 mm extend distance for different material thicknesses.
Actuating a diverter arm on a conveyor where the required reach changes based on product size, using the external stop to set the exact reach.
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X80-20S, order the direct replacement SAUJ40X80-20S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 20 mm adjust window if you need field tuning between 60 and 80 mm; the stop screw sets end position and is not a lock. Because this has an -S magnet, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes at or above 300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ40X80-20S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X80-20S, which shares the same 40 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. You will need to upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 20 mm adjust window allows you to shorten the 80 mm nominal extend stroke down to 60 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 SAUJ40X80-20S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
