This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X980S, 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 SU63X980S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X980S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 980mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X980S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X980S
The AirTAC SU63X980S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 980 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa via a 3/8" port. The direct replacement is the SAU63X980S, matching the bore, stroke, output force, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded aluminum body but switches the -S magnet to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. The SAUF variant adds a built-in valve the SU lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X980S 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 SAU63X980S 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 SU63X980S Is Used
Long-Stroke Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets across a 980 mm transfer zone using the 1559 N thrust class, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
Automated Press Ejection
Ejects dense parts using the 318 kgf maximum force, relying on the 21 mm adjustable cushions to decelerate at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X980S with the SAU63X980S
To replace the SU63X980S, order the SAU63X980S. Confirm the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because the -S magnet is present, note the sensor family changes from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For sizing, the neighboring 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. At 980 mm, this cylinder needs external guides to prevent rod bending from side loads. The cushion only decelerates; use a pilot-operated check valve or rod lock to hold loads. The SAUF built-in valve option is available if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X980S
- ✓ 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 SU63X980S FAQ
Yes, the SU63X980S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU63X980S, which shares the same 63 mm bore, 980 mm stroke, 3/8" port, force, and SC-series mounting.
The bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, and a 318 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
