This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X1500, 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 SU63X1500
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X1500 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 1500mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X1500, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X1500
The AirTAC SU63X1500 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 1500 mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, its direct replacement is the SAU63X1500, preserving the exact bore, stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. This extruded aluminium body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, and offers a SAUF variant with a built-in valve. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X1500 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 SAU63X1500 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.
Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X1500 Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Pushes heavy pallets along extended conveyor sections, utilising the full 1500 mm travel to move bulky assemblies between machining stations.
High-Bay Ejection
Ejects packaged goods from deep racking bays, leveraging the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome carton friction over long distances.
Automated Assembly Line Indexing
Indexes large fabricated frames down extended production lines, requiring external guides to manage the 1500 mm rod extension safely.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X1500 with the SAU63X1500
To replace this SU63X1500, order the SAU63X1500 and verify your 3/8" port threads (PT, G, or NPT) alongside the M16x1.5 rod-end and SC-series mounting. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot accept position sensors; if sensing is needed, specify an -S SAU model and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. At the 1500 mm maximum stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load forces. Neighbouring bores offer alternatives: an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore yields 982 N.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X1500
- ✓ 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 SU63X1500 FAQ
Yes, the SU63X1500 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X1500. It matches the 63 mm bore, 1500 mm stroke, 318 kgf max force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, with a 318 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept sensors; the -S version used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
