This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X240, 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 SU100X240
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X240 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 240mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X240, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X240
The AirTAC SU100X240 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 240mm stroke. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU100X240, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, 1/2 inch port and SC-series mounting form factor.
Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. If sensing is required, the SAU100X240-S upgrade uses modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B family. Note that the SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the original SU series never offered.

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 SAU100X240 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X240 Is Used
Heavy Press Ejection
Provides the high push force needed to eject dense metal stampings from a hydraulic press bed.
Pallet Lift Gates
Raises and lowers heavy loaded pallet gates on packaging lines, handling up to 200 kg vertical loads safely.
Mold Clamp Actuation
Drives large mold-halves together in low-pressure casting setups where 3927 N of clamping force is required.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X240 with the SAU100X240
To replace this SU100X240, order the SAU100X240. Confirm the 100mm bore, 240mm stroke, M20x1.5 rod thread and 1/2 inch port (default PT). Reuse your existing AirTAC SC-series mounting brackets like LB, FA or TC. Since this cylinder has no magnet (-S), it cannot support switches; if you need end-of-stroke detection, select the SAU100X240-S and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If your application needs self-switching without external plumbing, consider the SAUF valve-integrated model. For loads requiring 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, this 100mm bore is ideal, whereas dropping to an 80mm bore yields only 4523 N. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss; the 29mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the end caps. Install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a load vertically.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X240
- ✓ 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 SU100X240 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X240 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X240. It shares the same 100mm bore, 240mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, force output and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 5497 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 7068 N, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the SAU-S variant uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
