This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X480SH, 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 SU63X480SH
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480SH 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 SAU63X480SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480SH
The AirTAC SU63X480SH is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 318 kgf. The direct replacement is the SAU63X480SH, matching the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounts.
This unit includes a piston magnet (-S) and high-temp Viton H seals (-H) rated for 0-150 C. The SAU upgrade switches legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG and adds a SAUF valve-integrated option. Air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock to hold loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X480SH 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 SAU63X480SH 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 SU63X480SH Is Used
High-Temp Material Ejection
Handles 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa to eject molded parts near ovens, using the Viton H seal to withstand 150 C ambient heat without degrading.
Long-Stroke Pallet Diversion
Uses the 480 mm extension to push heavy pallets across transfer lines, requiring external guide rails to prevent rod bending over the long travel.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X480SH with the SAU63X480SH
To replace this discontinued SU63X480SH, order the SAU63X480SH. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware, as these are identical direct matches. Because the -S magnet is present, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. The -H Viton seal provides 0-150 C heat resistance. For the 480 mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Sizing alternatives: a 50 mm bore yields 982 N [email protected], while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Remember, the cushion decelerates but does not lock; add a pilot-operated check valve for load holding. If self-switching is needed, the SAU line offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X480SH
- ✓ 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 SU63X480SH FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X480SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X480SH. It shares the same 63 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits your existing 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 318 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. Because this model has a -S magnet, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU replacement requires the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
