This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X180, 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 SU100X180
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X180 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 180mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X180, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X180
The AirTAC SU100X180 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and 180 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 1/2" port and a 25 mm piston rod. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU100X180, a direct alternative retaining the exact body profile, force, stroke, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept position sensors. If sensing is needed, the SAU100X180 upgrade requires modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B type. Note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X180 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 SAU100X180 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 SU100X180 Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Ideal for securing heavy metal components during machining, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to hold parts firmly against cutting loads.
Pallet Load Ejection
Provides the robust thrust needed to push fully loaded pallets off accumulation rollers in high-throughput distribution centers.
Mold Actuation
Drives the opening and closing movements of mid-sized molding tools where a compact 180 mm stroke and high output force are required.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X180 with the SAU100X180
To replace the discontinued SU100X180, order the SAU100X180 direct equivalent, verifying your 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. If downsizing, a 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing is needed, this 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support sensors, but if you require detection, the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For load holding on air loss, add a pilot-operated check valve or rod lock, as cushions only decelerate. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve the SU lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X180
- ✓ 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 SU100X180 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X180 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X180. It shares the identical 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
It 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 and cannot take sensors. If you need sensing, the SAU100X180 replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
