This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X216, 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 SU80X216
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X216 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 216mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X216, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X216
The AirTAC SU80X216 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring an extruded aluminum barrel and adjustable air cushions at both ends. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the exact direct replacement SAU80X216, matching the 80 mm bore, 216 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
Because 216 mm is a non-standard stroke, the SAU80X216 direct is built to this exact length. This base SU SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor; furthermore, the SAU family upgrades switch compatibility to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG and introduces the SAUF built-in valve option. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

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 SAU80X216 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 SU80X216 Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets sideways off a main conveyor line utilizing the 2513 N thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the 216 mm stroke clearing the belt frame.
Press Ejection
Ejects formed metal or plastic parts from a press bed, using the 28 mm adjustable cushions to decelerate the 25 mm rod smoothly at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X216 with the SAU80X216
To replace this SU80X216, order the SAU80X216 direct equivalent, confirming the 80 mm bore, 216 mm non-standard stroke, 3/8" port, and PT/G/NPT thread choice. This bare SKU has no magnet, so it cannot mount a sensor; if you need position detection, select an SAU80X216-S and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Sizing both ways: a 63 mm bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. At 216 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are moderate, so guide your load to prevent seal damage. For load holding on air loss, add a pilot-operated check valve or rod lock, as cushions only decelerate. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU80X216
- ✓ 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 SU80X216 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU80X216 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU80X216. It matches the 80 mm bore, 216 mm stroke, 2513 N output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting accessories. You simply order the SAU80X216 equivalent.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513 N and pulls 2268 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518 N, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. The SAU replacement supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you order the -S version.
