This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X180, 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 SU80X180
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X180 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 180mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X180, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X180
The AirTAC SU80X180 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring an 80mm bore and 180mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same size while sharing AirTAC SC-series mounting accessories. It delivers a robust 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 25mm piston rod and a 3/8 inch air port.
AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X180, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and mounting footprint. The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches) and adds the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option the SU line lacked.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAU80X180 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 SU80X180 Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Provides the high thrust needed to push heavy loaded pallets onto secondary conveyor lines without requiring external boosters.
Vacuum Lifter Ejection
Ejects large sheet materials or packaging blanks from vacuum chucks with a fast 180mm stroke and 2513 N of push force.
Press Pin Insertion
Drives large-diameter dowel pins into heavy housings, utilizing the 80mm bore's rigid 25mm rod to prevent deflection.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X180 with the SAU80X180
To replace the discontinued SU80X180, order the SAU80X180 direct equivalent, verifying your 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Since this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a magnetic sensor; if position detection is required, the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. When sizing, the 80mm bore yields 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 63mm bore offers 1559 N push if a smaller footprint is acceptable. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the adjustable 28mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so employ an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. The SAUF valve-integrated variant can also simplify actuation circuits.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU80X180
- ✓ 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 SU80X180 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU80X180 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU80X180. It maintains the identical 80mm bore, 180mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 3518 N, and the theoretical max is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor, whereas the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
