This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X960S, 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 SU63X960S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X960S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 960mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X960S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X960S
The AirTAC SU63X960S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 960 mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it utilizes an extruded aluminum barrel and a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU63X960S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, and SC-series mounting hardware.
When migrating to the SAU63X960S, the body and mechanics remain unchanged, but the piston magnet now interfaces with modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the obsolete CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Furthermore, the SAU platform introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, a self-switching option the original SU line never offered.

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 SAU63X960S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X960S Is Used
Long-Stroke Diversion
Pushes heavy packages across a 960 mm transfer zone using the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
Automated Assembly Press
Cycles at 30-800 mm/s to seat components with 2182 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, relying on the 21 mm adjustable cushions to decelerate at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X960S with the SAU63X960S
To replace the SU63X960S, order the SAU63X960S and verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting brackets. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If sizing alternatives, the adjacent 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. For load holding, note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air; the cushions only decelerate, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Given the 960 mm stroke, always use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. If you need integrated airflow control, explore the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X960S
- ✓ 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 SU63X960S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X960S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X960S. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 960 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
The 63 mm bore generates 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, it originally used CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
