This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X100SH, 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.
Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100SH
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100SH is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X100SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100SH
The AirTAC SU63X100SH is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa and features an extruded aluminum barrel with adjustable air cushions at both ends, making it more compact than a standard ISO 15552 unit of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU63X100SH, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
This specific SKU includes a piston magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches and a Viton H seal (-H) for high-temperature environments up to 150 C. When upgrading to the SAU equivalent, the sensor family changes to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and you gain access to the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X100SH carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAU63X100SH 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.
Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100SH Is Used
High-Temp Part Ejection
Uses the Viton H seal to reliably push molded or hot components off a production line at up to 150 C without degrading.
Pallet Positioning
Provides robust 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to index heavy pallets into a wrapping station using SC-series mounting.
Diverting Heavy Goods
Actuates routing gates on a conveyor system, safely handling dynamic loads with a 935 N working load capacity.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100SH with the SAU63X100SH
To replace this discontinued SU63X100SH, order the SAU63X100SH, confirming the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and PT thread. Because this unit has the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new SAU body. The -H Viton seal allows operation up to 150 C, so retain this option if your environment demands high heat. If you need to downsize, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts without live air, so for load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve rather than relying on the cushion. If your application requires integrated flow control, the SAU family offers the SAUF valve-integrated variant, which the SU line lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X100SH
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S): sensor family CS1-B → CMSG
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB)
- ✓ Need a built-in valve? → SAUF
Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100SH FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X100SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X100SH. It matches the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The main change is that your old CS1-B/DS1-B sensors must be upgraded to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -H seal option allows operation from 0 to 150 C. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not hold the load, so use a rod lock for vertical holding.
