This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X500, 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 SU80X500
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X500, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500
The AirTAC SU80X500 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with an 80mm bore and 500mm stroke. It delivers 2513N push and 2268N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a 25mm rod and 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU80X500, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting accessories.
This compact extruded-aluminium body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept sensors, whereas the SAU replacement features a sensor groove for current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the SU line never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU80X500 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 SAU80X500 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 SU80X500 Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets laterally across transfer lines using a safe 1508N working load, with external guides handling the 500mm stroke side-loads.
Press Ejection
Cycles formed components out of hydraulic presses, relying on the 28mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 25mm rod at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500 with the SAU80X500
To replace the discontinued SU80X500, order the SAU80X500 direct equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this specific SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; if sensing is needed, the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing both ways, a neighbouring 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while a 100mm bore offers 3927N. With a 500mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the 28mm cushions only decelerate near stroke ends—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF valve-integrated model is available if self-switching is desired.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU80X500
- ✓ 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 SU80X500 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU80X500 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU80X500, which shares the identical 80mm bore, 500mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The body, force, and cushions remain unchanged.
The 80mm bore delivers 2513N push and 2268N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518N push at 0.7MPa, and a 513kgf maximum at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take sensors, whereas the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
