This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X160, 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 SU63X160
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X160, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160
The AirTAC SU63X160 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63mm bore and 160mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa via a 3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU63X160, a direct sharing the exact body, force, and SC-series mounts.
This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor, unlike the -S versions using legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAU upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and adds a SAUF valve-integrated option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X160 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 SAU63X160 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×160 | 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.
Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160 Is Used
Clamping Fixtures
Secures heavy workpieces with 1559N push force at 0.5MPa, providing stable holding for machining operations.
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight goods off a belt line using a 160mm stroke, moving loads safely under the 935N working limit.
Pallet Stops
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for pallets, using the 318kgf maximum theoretical force to halt inbound inventory.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160 with the SAU63X160
To replace this discontinued SU63X160, order the SAU63X160, matching the 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod, and 3/8 port. Since this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot accept switches; if sensing is needed, order an SAU63X160-S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B. For loads requiring holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate. At 160mm, side-load is low, but if scaling up, neighbor bores (50mm at 982N or 80mm at 2513N push @0.5MPa) offer different force classes.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X160
- ✓ 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 SU63X160 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X160 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X160, which shares the identical 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, 3/8 port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories.
It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, and a 318kgf max at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take sensors; the -S version used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
