This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X560, 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 SU63X560
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X560 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 560mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X560, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X560
The AirTAC SU63X560 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 560 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa via a 3/8" port. The direct replacement is the SAU63X560, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series mounting.
This compact extruded-aluminium body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The SAU upgrade switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and adds a SAUF built-in-valve option. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X560 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 SAU63X560 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 SU63X560 Is Used
Long-Stroke Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets sideways on a 560 mm run, utilizing the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome guide friction.
Press Ejection
Ejects dense parts from a press bed, relying on adjustable 21 mm cushions to decelerate the 20 mm rod at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X560 with the SAU63X560
To replace this discontinued SU63X560, order the SAU63X560 direct equivalent, verifying the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). If stepping up or down, neighbouring bores are 50 mm (982 N push @0.5 MPa) and 80 mm (2513 N push @0.5 MPa). Because this is a 560 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor; the SAU -S variant uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, while the SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X560
- ✓ 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 SU63X560 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X560 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X560, which shares the identical 63 mm bore, 560 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 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. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor. The SAU replacement -S version uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
