This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X1000, 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 SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X1000 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X1000, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU63X1000 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63mm bore and 1000mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa via a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU63X1000, a direct upgrade sharing the exact body, force, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X1000 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAU63X1000 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×1000 | 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.
Pushes heavy pallets along a 1000mm conveyor section using 1559N thrust at 0.5MPa, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending over the extended travel.
Actuates a 1-meter tooling bed applying up to 318kgf maximum force, relying on the 21mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the payload at stroke end.
To replace the SU63X1000, order the SAU63X1000 and verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounts. Neighbouring bores: a 50mm offers 982N push, while an 80mm provides 2513N at 0.5MPa. This non-magnet SKU cannot take sensors, but older -S versions require CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAU. Because the 1000mm stroke invites rod bending, use external guides to prevent side-load damage. The cylinder will not hold a load without air; add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The SAUF variant offers an integrated 4M valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU63X1000 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X1000. It shares the identical 63mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application without modification.
At 0.5MPa it provides 1559N push and 1402N pull, increasing to 2182N at 0.7MPa and a theoretical max of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific non-S SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept sensors; if sensing is needed, an SAU -S model uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU63X1000 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
