This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X360SH, 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 SU63X360SH
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360SH 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 SAU63X360SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360SH
The AirTAC SU63X360SH is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 360 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 318 kgf. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU63X360SH. This direct upgrade matches the original 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting footprint, so it drops straight into the same application.
The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet and -H Viton high-temperature seal (rated 0 to 150 C), the original CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be swapped to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU.

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 SAU63X360SH produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360SH Is Used
High-Temp Diverting
Actuates routing gates on hot material conveyors using the Viton H seal to withstand 150 C ambient heat.
Press Ejection
Pushes finished parts out of mid-force presses, utilizing the 1559 N thrust and adjustable end cushions.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X360SH with the SAU63X360SH
To replace the SU63X360SH, order the SAU63X360SH. Confirm the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, PT/G/NPT thread standard, and your SC-series mounting hardware (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) all match. If stepping down to a 50 mm bore, expect 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Because this is a 360 mm stroke, support the load with an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The -H Viton seal handles 0-150 C environments. The -S magnet means you must migrate from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. The SAU family also offers a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X360SH
- ✓ 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 SU63X360SH FAQ
Yes, the SU63X360SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X360SH. It shares the same 63 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, 318 kgf max force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The body and force are unchanged, but if your original had the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
The 3/8" port (fixed by the 63 mm bore) feeds a piston delivering 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa the push is 2182 N, and the theoretical maximum is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. Remember, the air cushions only decelerate the load near stroke end; they do not hold position pneumatically.
