This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X340, 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 SU63X340
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X340 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 340mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X340, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X340
The AirTAC SU63X340 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 340mm stroke. Delivering 1559N push force at 0.5MPa, its direct replacement is the SAU63X340, preserving the original 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting footprint.
This extruded aluminium body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept sensors, whereas the SAU upgrade supports modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches and a SAUF built-in valve option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X340 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 SAU63X340 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 SU63X340 Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Routes heavy pallets on a packaging line using the 1559N push force at 0.5MPa, with the 340mm stroke clearing the conveyor width for smooth lateral transfers.
Carton Push-off
Pushes assembled cartons off an accumulation roller bed; the 79kg vertical-lift capacity ensures reliable handling of dense corrugated stacks.
Gate Actuation
Operates heavy material flow gates, utilising the 3/8" port and 30-800mm/s speed range to cycle quickly without slamming via adjustable cushions.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X340 with the SAU63X340
To replace this discontinued SU63X340, order the SAU63X340 direct equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 thread, and SC-series mounting accessories (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this specific SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot accept position sensors; the SAU upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if sensing is later required. For sizing alternatives, dropping to a 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to an 80mm bore provides 2513N. Remember, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. At 340mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-loading.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X340
- ✓ 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 SU63X340 FAQ
