This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X60S, 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 SU63X60S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60S 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 SAU63X60S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60S
The AirTAC SU63X60S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 60mm stroke, delivering 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced it with the SAU63X60S direct replacement, retaining the exact 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting. The extruded aluminium body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This -S SKU has a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; upgrading to the SAU requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU lacked. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X60S 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 SAU63X60S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
Model Code: Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60S
| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 SU63X60S Is Used
Mid-Tonage Clamping
Secures heavy steel workpieces during machining operations, utilising the 1559N push force at 0.5MPa for rigid, deflection-free holding.
Package Diverting
Executes short 60mm diverting strokes on automated packaging lines, moving cartons efficiently at cycle speeds up to 800mm/s.
Pallet Stops
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop mechanism for heavy pallets on roller conveyors, absorbing kinetic energy via the 21mm adjustable cushions.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X60S with the SAU63X60S
To replace the SU63X60S, order the SAU63X60S, confirming the 63mm bore, 60mm stroke, 3/8" port (PT/G/NPT), and SC-series mounts (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB/TC). Because this is an -S model, note the sensor family changes from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For sizing both ways, a 50mm bore offers 982N push at 0.5MPa, while an 80mm bore provides 2513N. The 60mm stroke is short and highly rigid, but any future upgrade over 300mm requires a guide to prevent rod bending under side loads. If you need self-switching without external plumbing, consider the SAUF valve-integrated option. The air cushion only decelerates; add a pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X60S
- ✓ 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 SU63X60S FAQ
Yes, the SU63X60S is end-of-life. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X60S, which shares the identical 63mm bore, 60mm stroke, 3/8" port, force output, and SC-series mounting accessories. You can install the SAU directly into the existing fixture.
At 0.5MPa it provides 1559N push and 1402N pull, increasing to 2182N push at 0.7MPa, with a theoretical max of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, the original SU used CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
