This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X480S, 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 SU63X480S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480S 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 SAU63X480S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480S
The AirTAC SU63X480S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU63X480S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, and SC-series mounting footprint.
Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it originally paired with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X480S 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 SAU63X480S 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 SU63X480S Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets onto adjacent packaging lines using the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, with the 480 mm stroke clearing wide conveyor frames.
Component Ejection
Ejects molded parts from heavy machinery, utilizing the compact profile body to fit tight machine cells while providing robust 2182 N force at 0.7 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480S with the SAU63X480S
To replace this discontinued SU63X480S, order the SAU63X480S. Confirm your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) carry over directly. If sizing alternatives, the neighboring 50 mm bore yields 982 N push while the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this is a 480 mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S magnet means you must upgrade sensors from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. The SAU line also offers a SAUF variant with a built-in valve. Note: air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X480S
- ✓ 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 SU63X480S FAQ
Yes, the SU63X480S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X480S. It matches the 63 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. The main upgrade is that the SAU uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
This double-acting cylinder has a 3/8" port. It generates 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, 2805 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The piston rod is 20 mm with an M16x1.5 thread.
