This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X360S, 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 SU63X360S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 360mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X360S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360S
The AirTAC SU63X360S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, and a 3/8" port. It delivers 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU63X360S, a direct replacement retaining the exact same body dimensions, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting hardware.
When upgrading to the SAU, your original CS1-B/DS1-B sensors must be swapped for the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch family, though the magnetic piston groove design remains. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU series lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X360S 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 SAU63X360S 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 SU63X360S Is Used
Package Diverting
Actuates routing gates on 79 kg packaging lines using the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, with the 360 mm stroke clearing wide pallets.
Clamp Actuation
Secures heavy workpieces during machining, relying on the 1402 N pull force to hold components firmly against the fixture.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360S with the SAU63X360S
To replace the SU63X360S, order the SAU63X360S by confirming the 63 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Because this unit has a magnet (-S), you must upgrade from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If your application requires integrated flow control, consider the SAUF variant which includes a built-in 4M solenoid valve. For neighboring sizes, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. At 360 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads. Note that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X360S
- ✓ 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 SU63X360S FAQ
Yes, the SU63X360S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X360S. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
The 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, it originally used CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
