This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X160CA, 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 SU63X160CA
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160CA 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 SAU63X160CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160CA
The AirTAC SU63X160CA is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63mm bore and 160mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push force at 0.5MPa via a 3/8 inch port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU63X160CA, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port size and SC-series CA mounting interface.
Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position switch. If sensing is needed, the SAU replacement groove uses modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Note that an external rod lock is required to hold loads, as cushions only decelerate.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X160CA 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 SAU63X160CA 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 SU63X160CA Is Used
Carton Diverting
Drives a CA-mounted pivoting arm to push heavy cardboard cartons across a main conveyor belt using 1559N of thrust.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust 63mm bore stop gate on a roller conveyor, securely halting loaded pallets before a wrapping station.
Component Pressing
Delivers a controlled 160mm stroke to seat bearings or align heavy machined parts within an assembly fixture.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160CA with the SAU63X160CA
To replace this discontinued SU63X160CA, order the SAU63X160CA. Verify your 3/8 inch port threads (PT, G or NPT) and ensure your CA clevis mount matches. Since this non-magnetic SKU cannot hold a load without live air, add a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock for vertical safety. If you need position sensing, you must move to the SAU and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For higher force, the 80mm bore offers 2513N at 0.5MPa; for less space, the 50mm bore provides 982N. The 160mm stroke is standard, so no side-load guide is strictly necessary, but always minimize rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X160CA
- ✓ 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 SU63X160CA FAQ
Yes, the SU63X160CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X160CA. It shares the identical 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, 1559N output force at 0.5MPa, 3/8 inch port, and SC-series CA mounting accessory, fitting the exact same profile body space.
At 0.5MPa it pushes 1559N and pulls 1402N. It pushes 2182N at 0.7MPa, 2805N at 0.9MPa, with a theoretical max of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. The 21mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold a load. You must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drifting on air loss.
