This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X260, 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 SU100X260
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X260 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 260mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X260, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X260
The AirTAC SU100X260 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 260mm stroke. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses an extruded aluminum barrel making it more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this with the SAU100X260 direct replacement, matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is needed on the SAU100X260 upgrade, you must order an -S model and use the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, as the old CS1-B/DS1-B sensors are obsolete. The SAU line also adds a SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU never had. Note that the cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X260 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 SAU100X260 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 SU100X260 Is Used
Heavy Stamp Pressing
Provides 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for driving heavy stamping and forming dies in automated fabrication lines.
Pallet Diverting
Generates enough push force to redirect fully loaded pallets along high-speed conveyor routing systems.
Large Clamp Actuation
Actuates robust clamping jaws to secure oversized workpieces during heavy-duty machining operations.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X260 with the SAU100X260
To replace the SU100X260, order the SAU100X260. Confirm the 1/2" port (default PT thread), M20x1.5 rod-end thread, and your SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch; if you need position sensing, specify the SAU100X260S and upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Sizing both ways: the 100mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the smaller 80mm bore yields 2513 N. For higher flow, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve. Because the 260mm stroke exceeds 300mm only marginally, ensure adequate guidance to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; add a pilot-operated check valve or rod lock to hold loads safely.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X260
- ✓ 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 SU100X260 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X260 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X260. It shares the identical 100mm bore, 260mm stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
The 100mm bore provides 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 non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor. The SAU100X260S replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
