This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUJ50X90-50, 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 SUJ50X90-50 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 90mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUJ50X90-50, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SUJ50X90-50 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, giving a usable extend range of 40-90 mm from the 90 mm nominal maximum. Its extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This SUJ model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAUJ50X90-50, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ upgrade switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B) and the SAU line adds a built-in-valve SAUF variant. Note this SKU has no magnet so it cannot take a switch, and the stop screw sets end position only—it is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUJ50X90-50 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

The SAUJ50X90-50 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -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.
Dialing the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm allows a single cylinder to drive multiple part lengths without swapping the whole actuator.
Trimming the extend end position lets operators reposition a diverting flap for changing package widths on the fly.
Setting a hard mechanical stop via the screw prevents over-travel when pressing delicate films or cartons that require precise end-position control.
To replace the discontinued SUJ50X90-50, order the direct replacement SAUJ50X90-50, which matches the 50 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. Choose the 50 mm adjust window if you need to trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site; the stop screw sets the end position but is not a lock, so add an external rod lock for held loads. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, but if upgrading to a -S SAUJ, migrate from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SUJ50X90-50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUJ50X90-50, which matches the 50 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUJ uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
The external stop screw offers a 50 mm adjust window, shortening the 90 mm nominal extend stroke down to 40 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 SAUJ50X90-50 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
