This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ50X185-50S, 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 SUJ50X185-50S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 185mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ50X185-50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ50X185-50S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, yielding a usable extend range of 135-185 mm from the 185 mm nominal maximum.
This discontinued unit is fully replaced by the SAUJ50X185-50S, which retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and SC-series FA/LB mounting. The direct SAUJ upgrade transitions from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG 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 SAUJ50X185-50S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAUJ50X185-50S 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.
Adjusts the extend stroke on-site for a 50 mm profile cylinder pushing parts into a variable-pitch fixture without swapping the entire actuator.
Trims the extend position to hit varying lane widths on a packaging line, using the 50 mm adjust window to dial in the exact reject arm reach.
Sets a precise mechanical end-stop for carton alignment, allowing operators to shorten the stroke from 185 mm down to 135 mm as box formats change.
To replace the discontinued SUJ50X185-50S, order the direct replacement SAUJ50X185-50S, keeping the 50 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 50 mm adjust window when you need on-site extend trimming between 135 and 185 mm; the stop screw sets end position but is not a lock, so add an external rod lock for held loads. Because this unit has the -S magnet, swap the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUJ. For this 185 mm stroke, verify side-load limits on the rod bearing.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ50X185-50S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ50X185-50S, matching the 50 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the -S magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The external stop screw offers a 50 mm adjust window, allowing you to trim the 185 mm nominal extend stroke down to 135 mm on-site. The stop sets end position but does not lock the load.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAUJ50X185-50S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
