This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X480, 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 SU63X480
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 480mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X480, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480
The AirTAC SU63X480 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAU63X480, matching the bore, stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
This no-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor, unlike the -S versions which used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAU replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X480 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 SAU63X480 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 SU63X480 Is Used
Pallet Diverting
Uses the 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa to deflect heavy pallets along a 480 mm routing stroke without requiring full system pressure.
Long Stroke Ejection
Pushes molded parts clear of a press over the 480 mm travel, relying on adjustable end cushions to decelerate the 20 mm rod safely.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480 with the SAU63X480
To replace this SU63X480, order the SAU63X480 direct equivalent, verifying the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this 480 mm stroke is long, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. Size both ways: a 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X480
- ✓ 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 SU63X480 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X480 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X480, which maintains the exact 63 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 318 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the -S versions used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
