This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ50X175-40S, 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 SUJ50X175-40S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ50X175-40S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ50X175-40S 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 135-175 mm extend window from the 175 mm nominal maximum. This discontinued model is fully replaced by the SAUJ50X175-40S.
The SAUJ50X175-40S direct keeps the exact bore, stroke, force, and SC-series FA/LB mounting, but upgrades sensing from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ50X175-40S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAUJ50X175-40S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | 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.
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site allows precise control of drill bit feed depth without swapping entire actuators.
Field-tuning the 135-175 mm stroke window lets operators alter the gate extension to accommodate varying package widths on the line.
The external stop screw provides quick on-site adjustment of the sealing head extension for different carton profiles.
To replace the discontinued SUJ50X175-40S, specify SAUJ50X175-40S for an direct match on bore, stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. Because this unit has the -S magnet, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUJ. Choose the 40 mm adjust window when you need precise 135-175 mm field tuning that beats adding an external stop to a fixed SAU. For this 175 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ50X175-40S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ50X175-40S, which matches the 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. You only need to upgrade the -S magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, creating a usable 135-175 mm extend window from the 175 mm nominal maximum. The stop sets end position only and is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ50X175-40S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
