This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X160, 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 SU100X160
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X160 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X160, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X160
The AirTAC SU100X160 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating through a 1/2 inch port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU100X160, a direct alternative retaining the exact body profile, force, and SC-series mounting footprint.
Buyers gain an upgrade path: the SAU accepts current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and introduces the SAUF built-in-valve variant the SU lacked. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept any sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X160 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 SAU100X160 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 SU100X160 Is Used
Pallet Diverting
Shifts heavy pallets transversely on high-throughput lines, using the 160 mm stroke to clear the belt before retracting.
Heavy Lift Gates
Actuates industrial freight gates where the 3681 N pull force securely retracts weighted barriers against gravity.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X160 with the SAU100X160
To replace this discontinued SU100X160, order the SAU100X160. Confirm the 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting accessories. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept switches; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU-S model and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Downsize to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push) for lighter loads, or keep the 100 mm bore for 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. The 29 mm cushions only decelerate the load; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold position against air loss. The SAUF valve-integrated option can simplify cycle control.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X160
- ✓ 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 SU100X160 FAQ
Yes, the SU100X160 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X160. It matches the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 3927 N force, 1/2 inch port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application without mechanical changes.
It provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take sensors; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if sensing is required.
