This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X15S, 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 SU100X15S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X15S 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 SAU100X15S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X15S
The AirTAC SU100X15S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 15mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating through a 1/2" port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU100X15S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The SAU replacement modernizes sensing: this SU's -S magnet functioned with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAU utilizes current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The new SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the original SU lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X15S 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 SAU100X15S 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 SU100X15S Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Secures heavy steel workpieces during machining, using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to prevent movement under aggressive cutting loads.
Short-Stroke Pressing
Performs compact riveting or stamping operations where a 15mm stroke delivers rapid, high-impact 801 kgf theoretical force in confined spaces.
Pallet Stopping
Halts loaded pallets on a conveyor line; the robust 25mm piston rod absorbs kinetic energy while adjustable cushions decelerate the load.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X15S with the SAU100X15S
To replace the SU100X15S, order the SAU100X15S. Verify your 1/2" port threads (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting hardware (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC) which carry over directly. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. Downsize to an 80mm bore if 2513 N push suffices, or upsize to 100mm if a 63mm bore's 1559 N is insufficient. The 15mm stroke is very short, so side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure rigid guidance. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. Consider the SAUF variant if you need an integrated valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X15S
- ✓ 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 SU100X15S FAQ
Yes, the SU100X15S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X15S. It matches the 100mm bore, 15mm stroke, 1/2" port, force output, 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 maximum is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
