This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X250FA, 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 SU100X250FA
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X250FA is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X250FA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X250FA
The AirTAC SU100X250FA is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 250mm stroke. It delivers a 3927N push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced it with the SAU100X250FA, a direct upgrade sharing the same extruded aluminium body, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread and SC-series FA mounting accessories.
This compact profile body is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept sensors; the SAU family also adds a SAUF valve-integrated option and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for -S variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X250FA 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 SAU100X250FA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×250 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 SU100X250FA Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Secures large metal castings in machining fixtures using the 3927N push force at 0.5MPa.
Mould Tool Handling
Shifts heavy injection mould tools between stations via the FA foot mount and 1/2" port.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X250FA with the SAU100X250FA
To replace this SU100X250FA, order the SAU100X250FA keeping the 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, 1/2" port and FA foot mount. Because this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot support sensing. If sensing is required on the new unit, an -S SAU model uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Sizing both ways: dropping to an 80mm bore gives 2513N push at 0.5MPa, while a 100mm bore at 0.7MPa yields 5497N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock for held loads. At 250mm stroke, guide rods prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X250FA
- ✓ 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 SU100X250FA FAQ
Yes, the SU100X250FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X250FA, matching the 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, 1/2" port, force and SC-series FA mounting.
It delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, and a max of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take sensors; SAU -S variants use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
