This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X1600, 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 SU100X1600
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1600 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 1600mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X1600, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1600
The AirTAC SU100X1600 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 1600mm stroke. Because 1600mm exceeds the 1500mm max standard stroke for this bore, it is a non-standard, made-to-order length. This legacy unit delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced it with the SAU100X1600, a direct upgrade retaining the exact same body profile, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a new SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU line lacked. Note this specific SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a sensor switch.

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 SAU100X1600 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 SU100X1600 Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Drives heavy pallets across extended conveyor gaps, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shift bulky assemblies over the full 1600mm travel.
High-Level Storage Extraction
Extracts heavy totes from deep racking systems where the 200 kg vertical lift capacity and long stroke reach deep into storage bays.
Large Assembly Pressing
Applies sustained clamping pressure for large panel bonding, leveraging the 5497 N output at 0.7 MPa across a broad 1600mm working area.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X1600 with the SAU100X1600
To replace this discontinued SU100X1600, order the SAU100X1600 direct equivalent, confirming the 100mm bore, 1600mm non-standard stroke, 1/2" port, and PT/G/NPT thread choice. Since this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU100X1600S and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For sizing both ways, a neighboring 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100mm bore provides 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts without live air—the cushions only decelerate—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. At 1600mm, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X1600
- ✓ 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 SU100X1600 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X1600 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU100X1600. It shares the same 100mm bore, 1600mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
This 100mm bore cylinder delivers 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, so it cannot accept a sensor switch. The SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if sensing is required.
