This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X284S, 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 SU100X284S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X284S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 284mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X284S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X284S
The AirTAC SU100X284S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore, 284mm stroke, and a 1/2" port. Generating 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced directly by the SAU100X284S. This direct successor matches the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting, ensuring a seamless retrofit without machinery redesign.
The original -S magnet functioned with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the 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 SAU100X284S 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 SU100X284S Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Ideal for securing heavy metal components during stamping or pressing operations, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa for robust holding.
Pallet Diversion
Provides the robust actuation needed to divert heavy loaded pallets across conveyor lanes, taking advantage of the 100mm bore power.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X284S with the SAU100X284S
To replace this discontinued SU100X284S, order the SAU100X284S. Verify your 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) to ensure a direct fit. Because this unit has a -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be upgraded to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If you need higher flow control, consider the SAUF variant with its integrated 4M valve. Since the 284mm stroke is non-standard, ensure your guide mechanism handles side loads to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the 29mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end. If you need more force, stepping up is not an option beyond 100mm in this profile family, so verify your 0.15-1.0 MPa supply.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X284S
- ✓ 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 SU100X284S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X284S is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU100X284S. It shares the same 100mm bore, 284mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, allowing for a direct physical swap.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet on this legacy model worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
