This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X500S, 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 SU80X500S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500S 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 SAU80X500S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500S
The AirTAC SU80X500S 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 EOL unit with the SAU80X500S, a direct alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because it is a compact extruded-aluminium profile, it is shorter than a standard ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; upgrading to the SAU requires switching to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option, which this SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU80X500S 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 SAU80X500S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×500 | 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.
Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500S Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Pushes heavy pallets sideways off a main conveyor line using the 2513N push force at 0.5MPa, with the 500mm stroke clearing adjacent guide rails.
Press Ejection
Ejects formed metal parts from a 80-ton press bed, where the compact extruded profile saves space and the adjustable 28mm cushions absorb kinetic energy.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X500S with the SAU80X500S
To replace this discontinued SU80X500S, order the SAU80X500S direct equivalent, confirming the 80mm bore, 500mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). If your machine relied on the -S magnet, note that the SAU mandates a sensor family change from the old CS1-B/DS1-B to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If you need self-switching capability, consider the SAUF variant with its integrated 4M valve. For downward sizing, a 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa; for upward sizing, a 100mm bore yields 3927N. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. Finally, at 500mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU80X500S
- ✓ 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 SU80X500S FAQ
Yes, the SU80X500S is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X500S. It matches the 80mm bore, 500mm stroke, 2513N push force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
The SAU80X500S provides 2513N push and 2268N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. Because your old model has the -S magnet, you must change sensors: the SAU uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B reed switches.
