This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X170S, 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 SU80X170S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 170mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X170S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU80X170S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with an 80mm bore and 170mm stroke. It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating via a 3/8 inch port with a 25mm piston rod. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU80X170S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
The SAU replacement introduces current CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy -S SKU relied on older CS1-B and DS1-B switches. Furthermore, the SAU family adds an SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU line never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU80X170S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAU80X170S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×170 | 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.
Applies the 3518 N push force at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings and assemble dense mechanical components securely.
Pushes heavy packages across transfer lines using the 25mm chrome rod and robust 80mm profile body.
To replace this discontinued SU80X170S, order the SAU80X170S direct equivalent, verifying your 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Because this SKU includes a magnet, note the mandatory sensor family change: legacy CS1-B and DS1-B switches will not fit the SAU groove, requiring an upgrade to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If your application needs a self-switching function, consider the SAUF variant with its integrated 4M valve. For sizing alternatives, a 63mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100mm bore offers 3927 N. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the adjustable 28mm cushions only decelerate the stroke, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU80X170S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU80X170S. It shares the identical 80mm bore, 170mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, the legacy CS1-B and DS1-B switches must be replaced by CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the new SAU unit.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU80X170S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
