This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X1000, 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.

The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1000 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X1000, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU100X1000 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a heavy-duty choice for industrial automation. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU100X1000, a direct upgrade retaining the exact same extruded aluminum body, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a piston switch. If sensing is needed on the SAU replacement, you must order an -S version which uses the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAU line also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the original SU series never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X1000 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAU100X1000 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×1000 | 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.
Drives large pallets across heavy-duty conveyor lanes using its 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, easily handling substantial product weights.
Raises and lowers loading bay gates; with a safe vertical lift capacity near 200 kg, it provides reliable actuation for heavy material handling.
Ejects finished parts from large industrial presses over the 1000 mm stroke, requiring external guides to manage the extended rod length safely.
To replace the discontinued SU100X1000, order the SAU100X1000 direct equivalent, verifying your 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Since this SKU is non-magnetic, it cannot support sensors; if position feedback is required, specify the SAU100X1000-S and upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For force sizing, the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa (or 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa). If you need less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, note the 100 mm bore is the largest profile option available. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air—the 29 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical holding. Finally, for this 1000 mm stroke, external guide rails are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU100X1000 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X1000. It shares the identical 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application without modifications.
It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a piston sensor; the -S version of the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B.
