This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X1500, 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 SU100X1500
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1500 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 1500mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X1500, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1500
The AirTAC SU100X1500 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 1500mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore while delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU100X1500, a direct replacement retaining the exact 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The SAU upgrade introduces the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch family for sensing-equipped variants, plus a new SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line never had.

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 SAU100X1500 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 SU100X1500 Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Drives heavy pallets across extended conveyor sections, utilizing the full 1500mm travel to shift large assemblies between machining stations.
High-Reach Vertical Lifting
Elevates components weighing up to 200 kg in warehousing systems, relying on the 100mm bore to generate substantial vertical thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Large Assembly Pressing
Applies up to 3927 N of smooth pressing force for seating heavy industrial housings, taking advantage of the adjustable 29mm air cushions.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1500 with the SAU100X1500
To replace this discontinued SU100X1500, order the SAU100X1500 direct equivalent, verifying your 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Since this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you require position detection on the new unit, specify an SAU100X1500-S and adopt the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. At 0.5 MPa this bore yields 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; if undersizing, a 80mm bore provides 2513 N push. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. Finally, at 1500mm, this long stroke demands external guide rails to prevent rod bending and excessive side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X1500
- ✓ 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 SU100X1500 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X1500 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X1500. It shares the identical 100mm bore, 1500mm stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, and the theoretical max is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet, meaning it cannot accept a sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on its -S variants.
