This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X100, 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 SU100X100
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X100 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X100, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X100
The AirTAC SU100X100 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 100mm stroke. Delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminium barrel that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU100X100, a direct replacement retaining the exact 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. If sensing is required, the SAU100X100 upgrade uses modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B family. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the original SU line never offered.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAU100X100 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 SU100X100 Is Used
Heavy Press Operations
Ideal for driving heavy stamping or pressing dies requiring substantial push force, utilizing the 3927 N output at 0.5 MPa to form rigid materials securely.
Pallet Diversion
Actuates robust routing gates or heavy-duty pallet stops in high-throughput distribution centers where high kinetic energy demands a strong 100mm bore cylinder.
Industrial Clamp Jigs
Secures large fabricated steel frames during welding or machining, providing the rigid holding power necessary to prevent workpiece deflection under tool load.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X100 with the SAU100X100
To replace the discontinued SU100X100, order the SAU100X100 direct equivalent, verifying your 1/2 inch port thread (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting hardware (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC). Since this non-magnetic SKU cannot hold a position switch, migrate to an SAU100X100-S if you need sensing, noting the required change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Sizing both ways: the neighbouring 80mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100mm bore offers 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts without live air—the cushions only decelerate the piston—so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The 100mm stroke is short enough to avoid rod-bending concerns, but always guide the load to prevent side-loading.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X100
- ✓ 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 SU100X100 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X100 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU100X100. It shares the identical 100mm bore, 100mm stroke, output force, 1/2 inch port size, and SC-series mounting hardware, allowing a direct physical swap without modifying your existing machinery.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, and the theoretical maximum is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor. If you need position detection, the SAU100X100-S replacement supports current CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, replacing the older CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
