This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X260S, 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 SU100X260S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X260S 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 SAU100X260S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X260S
The AirTAC SU100X260S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 260mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore while delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU100X260S, a direct replacement retaining the exact 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
This -S SKU includes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU upgrade switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU series lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X260S 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 SAU100X260S 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 SU100X260S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings and assemble heavy mechanical components with reliable double-acting power.
Pallet Lift Stations
Lifts vertical loads up to 200 kg safely using the 100mm bore, utilizing the 260mm stroke to raise goods between conveyor elevations.
Logistics Diversion
Actuates heavy lane diverters and sorting gates, where the compact extruded profile saves space while retaining SC-series mounting compatibility.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X260S with the SAU100X260S
To replace the SU100X260S, order the SAU100X260S direct equivalent, verifying the 100mm bore, 260mm stroke, 1/2" port (default PT), and SC-series mounting hardware are retained. If your machine relied on the -S magnet, note that the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Sizing both ways: a neighboring 80mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is unnecessary given this 100mm bore already yields 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the 260mm stroke exceeds 300mm? No, but at this length you must still account for side-load and rod-bending forces, using guide rails to prevent premature seal wear. The air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not hold the load. For static holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. If self-switching is needed, consider the new SAUF valve-integrated option.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X260S
- ✓ 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 SU100X260S FAQ
Yes, the SU100X260S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X260S. It matches the 100mm bore, 260mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting, but the SAU uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The 1/2" port bore 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. The 29mm adjustable cushion brings the piston to a smooth stop, though an external rod lock is required to hold loads safely.
