This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU80X980S, 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 SU80X980S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X980S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 980mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU80X980S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X980S
The AirTAC SU80X980S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with an 80mm bore and 980mm stroke. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 25mm piston rod, M20x1.5 thread, and a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU80X980S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
The SAU replacement modernizes the sensor system: the SU80X980S used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAU utilizes current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air; use an external rod lock for holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU80X980S 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 SAU80X980S 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 SU80X980S Is Used
Long-Stroke Diversion
Actuates large package pushers across wide conveyor belts, utilizing the 980mm stroke and 2513 N force to redirect heavy pallets reliably.
High-Reach Lifting
Raises materials to elevated machine infeeds, where the 80mm bore provides the necessary thrust and external guides absorb side loads.
Automated Assembly Transfer
Shifts automotive sub-assemblies between stations, benefiting from the compact profile body and adjustable 28mm cushions at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU80X980S with the SAU80X980S
To replace the SU80X980S, order the SAU80X980S, confirming the 80mm bore, 980mm stroke, 3/8" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. Because this is a 980mm stroke, you must support the load with an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. If downsizing, a 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 100mm bore provides 3927 N. The -S magnet means your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not fit the SAU groove—you must upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not hold the load, so add a pilot-operated check valve for vertical applications. For self-switching, explore the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU80X980S
- ✓ 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 SU80X980S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU80X980S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU80X980S. It matches the 80mm bore, 980mm stroke, 2513 N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application without mechanical changes.
At 0.5 MPa, push is 2513 N and pull is 2268 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 3518 N, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet on this legacy SU worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
