This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X180S, 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 SU100X180S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X180S 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 SAU100X180S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X180S
The AirTAC SU100X180S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder featuring a 100mm bore, 180mm stroke, and an integrated piston magnet. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a heavyweight choice for demanding pneumatic tasks. The direct replacement is the SAU100X180S, matching the bore, stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting.
Buyers gain two notable upgrades with the SAU: the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors are replaced by current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and the SAUF variant offers a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU lacked. The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

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 SAU100X180S 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 SU100X180S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives heavy tooling dies with 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the 180mm stroke for deep drawing operations.
Large Gate Diversion
Actuates heavy mechanical flow gates on high-capacity production lines, relying on the 1/2" port for rapid filling.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X180S with the SAU100X180S
To replace this SU100X180S, order the SAU100X180S and verify your 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family on the new SAU. If your application needs self-switching, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve directly on the body. For loads requiring position holding without live air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the 29 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates. If sizing alternatives, dropping to an 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while staying at 100mm provides 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Although 180mm is under the 1500mm max standard stroke, always ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X180S
- ✓ 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 SU100X180S FAQ
Yes, the SU100X180S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X180S. It matches the 100mm bore, 180mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. You can swap it directly without changing your mechanical setup.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N. It pushes 5497 N at 0.7 MPa and reaches a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU replacement requires the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
