This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X15, 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 SU100X15
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X15 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X15, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X15
The AirTAC SU100X15 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 100 mm bore and 1/2 inch port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU100X15, a direct upgrade retaining the exact stroke, force, port size, and SC-series mounting footprint.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a position switch. The SAU upgrade modernizes sensing with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches and adds an optional SAUF built-in 4M valve.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X15 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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 SAU100X15 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 SU100X15 Is Used
Industrial Clamp
Secures large fabricated steel frames during welding, utilizing the 100 mm bore's robust 3681 N pull force.
Short-Stroke Press
Executes compact 15 mm high-force pressing operations for bearing insertion or riveting on the assembly line.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X15 with the SAU100X15
To replace this discontinued SU100X15, order the SAU100X15. Confirm the 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting accessories. Because this SKU has no magnet, it cannot support sensing; if you need position detection, select an SAU model with an -S suffix and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For higher force needs, step up pressure to 0.7 MPa for 5497 N push; if reducing size, a 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads. The SAUF valve-integrated variant is available if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X15
- ✓ 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 SU100X15 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X15 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X15. It matches the 100 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, 3927 N force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application without modifications.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N; max force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 29 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end—they do not hold the load. For load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
