This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X60, 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 SU63X60
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X60, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60
The AirTAC SU63X60 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminum barrel and adjustable air cushions. The direct replacement is the SAU63X60, preserving the original body dimensions, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is needed, the SAU upgrade supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, whereas the older SU line used CS1-B/DS1-B. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the SU never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X60 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 SAU63X60 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 SU63X60 Is Used
Package Diversion
Actuates routing gates on 3/8" ported conveyors to redirect heavy cartons, utilizing the 1559 N push force to overcome side friction.
Clamp Actuation
Drives short-stroke clamping jaws on machining fixtures, applying firm 0.5 MPa holding pressure without requiring magnetic feedback.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60 with the SAU63X60
To replace the SU63X60, order the SAU63X60 with the same 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 3/8" port. Confirm your thread standard (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting brackets (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC). This non-magnetic SKU cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, specify an SAU model with a magnet and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing alternatives, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Since the standard cylinder lacks a locking mechanism, the cushion only decelerates the piston; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads securely.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X60
- ✓ 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 SU63X60 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X60 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X60. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 1559 N output force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port size, and SC-series mounting accessories, fitting the exact same application.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull force, rising to 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for position detection.
