This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X470S, 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 SU63X470S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X470S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 470mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X470S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X470S
The AirTAC SU63X470S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63mm bore and 470mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a 3/8" port and M16x1.5 rod thread. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU63X470S, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
When upgrading to the SAU, the body dimensions and adjustable 21mm cushions remain unchanged, but the sensor family shifts: this SU's -S magnet used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAU requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X470S 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 SAU63X470S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×470 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 SU63X470S Is Used
Package Diverting
Drives diverter arms on sorting lines, utilizing the 1559N push force to redirect heavy cartons reliably during automated distribution.
Press Ejection
Ejects formed metal parts from a press bed, using the 470mm stroke to clear the tooling area completely before the next machining cycle begins.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X470S with the SAU63X470S
To replace this SU63X470S, order the SAU63X470S. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC) to ensure a seamless direct fit. Because this is a -S magnet model, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not fit the SAU; you must upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If your application needs self-switching, explore the SAUF variant with its integrated 4M valve. For neighbouring sizing, a 50mm bore yields 982N push while an 80mm bore provides 2513N at 0.5MPa. At 470mm stroke, prevent rod bending by supporting the load with external guides to avoid side-loading. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X470S
- ✓ 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 SU63X470S FAQ
Yes, the SU63X470S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X470S. It shares the identical 63mm bore, 470mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, fitting the same application directly.
At 0.5MPa it provides 1559N push and 1402N pull; at 0.7MPa it pushes 2182N, and the theoretical max is 318kgf at 1.0MPa. This -S model has a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead.
