This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X500SH, 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 SU63X500SH
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X500SH is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X500SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X500SH
The AirTAC SU63X500SH is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63mm bore and 500mm stroke. The direct replacement is the SAU63X500SH, matching the 3/8 inch port, M16x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting.
This legacy unit features a Viton H seal for 0-150 C high-temperature environments and a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Upgrading to the SAU63X500SH retains the compact extruded aluminum body but switches you to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces the SAUF valve-integrated variant, an option the SU series never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X500SH 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 SAU63X500SH 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 SU63X500SH Is Used
Hot Product Diversion
Routes heated molded parts along a transfer line using the 500mm stroke and Viton H seals to endure ambient radiant heat up to 150 C.
Pallet Push-Off Station
Exerts 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa to index standard pallets, relying on the 3/8 inch port for rapid exhaust during repetitive cycling.
Oven Door Actuation
Opens and closes industrial curing oven barriers where the 63mm bore provides sufficient force and the FKM seals resist thermal degradation.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X500SH with the SAU63X500SH
To replace this SU63X500SH, order the SAU63X500SH direct equivalent, confirming the 63mm bore, 500mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware are retained. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. The -H Viton seal correctly translates to the new unit for 0-150 C heat. For sizing alternatives, a 50mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80mm bore offers 2513 N. With a 500mm stroke, prevent rod bending by supporting the load with external guides. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X500SH
- ✓ 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 SU63X500SH FAQ
Yes, the SU63X500SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X500SH. It shares the same 63mm bore, 500mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
The 63mm bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 318 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
