This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X160N, 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 SU63X160N
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160N 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 SAU63X160N, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160N
The AirTAC SU63X160N is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 160mm stroke. This NBR-sealed unit delivers 1559N push force at 0.5MPa via a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced it with the SAU63X160N, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, and SC-series mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU upgrade switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for its -S variants and adds a SAUF valve-integrated option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X160N 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 SAU63X160N 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 SU63X160N Is Used
Mid-Tonnage Pressing
Applies the 1559N push force at 0.5MPa for securely seating bearings or clinching light sheet metal assemblies.
Package Diversion
Drives 160mm stroke diverters or routing gates on packaging lines, operating smoothly at 30-800mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X160N with the SAU63X160N
To replace this discontinued SU63X160N, order the SAU63X160N, confirming the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and NBR seal. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an -S SAU and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Neighbouring bores: a 50mm bore gives 982N push at 0.5MPa, while an 80mm bore gives 2513N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock for holding. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve if needed. At 160mm stroke, side-load is low, but ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X160N
- ✓ 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 SU63X160N FAQ
Yes, the SU63X160N is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X160N, matching the 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, 3/8" port, force, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, and a 318kgf max at 1.0MPa. This specific NBR-sealed SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor; the SAU -S variant uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
