This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X860S, 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 SU63X860S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X860S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 860mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X860S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X860S
The AirTAC SU63X860S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 860 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU63X860S, a direct alternative retaining the exact body, stroke, force, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The SAU body retains the compact extruded aluminum profile but upgrades the -S magnet compatibility from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the SU series never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X860S 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 SAU63X860S 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 SU63X860S Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes heavy pallets laterally across a wide conveyor belt using the 860 mm stroke and 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Automated Press Feed
Advances long metal strips into a stamping press, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending over the 860 mm extension.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X860S with the SAU63X860S
To replace this SU63X860S, order the SAU63X860S direct equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. If sizing alternatives, a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Because this is an 860 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. The air cushion only decelerates the piston; for secure load holding during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Finally, migrate your -S magnet sensors from CS1-B/DS1-B to the SAU-compatible CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X860S
- ✓ 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 SU63X860S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X860S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X860S. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 860 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull force, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
