This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X480, 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 SU80X480
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X480 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 480mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X480, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X480
The AirTAC SU80X480 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with an 80 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating via a 3/8" port with a 25 mm rod. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU80X480, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting. The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor. Furthermore, the SAU upgrade transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option the SU line never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU80X480 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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 SAU80X480 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 SU80X480 Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets onto parallel conveyor lines using the 2513 N thrust at 0.5 MPa, while the 480 mm stroke clears the transfer zone completely.
Component Ejection
Ejects molded parts from a press bed, utilizing the adjustable 28 mm air cushions to decelerate the 25 mm rod smoothly at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X480 with the SAU80X480
To replace the discontinued SU80X480, order the SAU80X480. Verify your 80 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) for an direct fit. If moving up or down a size, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor; if you need position detection, the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air—the 28 mm cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. With a 480 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-loading. For self-switching needs, consider the SAUF valve-integrated variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU80X480
- ✓ 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 SU80X480 FAQ
Yes, the SU80X480 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X480. It matches the 80 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 2513 N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The SAU body also offers a new SAUF built-in valve option the SU line lacked.
It provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is needed, the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
