This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X1600, 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.

The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X1600 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1600mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X1600, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU80X1600 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a 1600 mm stroke. Because 1600 mm exceeds the 1500 mm standard maximum for this bore, it is a non-standard, made-to-order length. It delivers 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through a 3/8 inch port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU80X1600, a direct replacement retaining the exact same body profile, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting accessories.
The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, superseding the older CS1-B and DS1-B switches used on the SU line, while also offering a new SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU never had. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept any sensor. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock for holding.

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.
Drives extended pallet pushers across wide conveyor belts, utilizing the full 1600 mm stroke to shift heavy workpieces between machining cells.
Extracts deep totes from automated vertical lift modules, where the 80 mm bore provides enough push force to overcome bin friction without stalling.
Opens and closes heavy industrial machine enclosure doors, relying on adjustable end cushions to bring the long travel to a smooth, controlled stop.
To replace the discontinued SU80X1600, order the SAU80X1600 direct equivalent, verifying your 80 mm bore, 1600 mm non-standard stroke, 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB, FA, FB, CA, or CB). Since this is a non-magnetized SKU, it cannot support a sensor; if you previously relied on external sensing, the SAU upgrade uses the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch families instead of the legacy CS1-B or DS1-B. When sizing, a neighboring 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N; this 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Because the 1600 mm stroke exceeds the 1500 mm standard maximum and creates a long lever arm, you must support the load with an external guide to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end and will not hold the load on air loss, so install a pilot-operated check valve or rod lock if the load must remain suspended. For faster actuation, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve directly onto the body.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SU80X1600 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU80X1600. It shares the identical 80 mm bore, 1600 mm non-standard stroke, 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting hardware, so it drops right into the same application.
This 80 mm bore cylinder delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor; however, the SAU replacement line uses CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-B and DS1-B models.
