This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ40X80-40S, 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 SUJ40X80-40S 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 SAUJ40X80-40S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ40X80-40S 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 40-80 mm extend window from the 80 mm nominal maximum. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This SUJ model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAUJ40X80-40S, 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. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ40X80-40S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAUJ40X80-40S 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.
Ideal for assembly stations requiring different part pitches, using the 40 mm adjust window to tune the extend stroke on-site for each specific product run.
Deployed as a transfer gate stop where the extended position must be fine-tuned in the field to accommodate varying package sizes without changing the cylinder.
Used in packaging equipment to set precise forming depths on the fly, trimming the extend stroke by up to 40 mm to handle multiple carton heights.
To replace the discontinued SUJ40X80-40S, order the direct replacement SAUJ40X80-40S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 80 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 40 mm adjust window if your extend stroke needs on-site tuning between 40 and 80 mm; the SAUJ beats a fixed SAU plus external stop by integrating the stop screw cleanly into the cylinder body. Because this is an -S model, you must swap the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUJ. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ40X80-40S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ40X80-40S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 80 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 allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, giving a usable extend window of 40-80 mm. The stop sets end position but is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ40X80-40S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
