This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X290, 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 SU100X290
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X290 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 290mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X290, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X290
The AirTAC SU100X290 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 290mm stroke. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU100X290 direct replacement, which preserves the exact bore, stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting accessories for a seamless swap.
This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor, whereas the SAU upgrade supports modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, a feature the original SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X290 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 SAU100X290 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 SU100X290 Is Used
Heavy Stamp Ejection
Provides the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa required to eject thick metal stampings from a press die without requiring high operating pressure.
Platen Press Actuation
Drives a small assembly platen with adjustable 29mm air cushions at both ends to smoothly decelerate the large 100mm piston at stroke limits.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X290 with the SAU100X290
To replace this discontinued SU100X290, order the SAU100X290 direct equivalent, verifying the 100mm bore, 290mm stroke, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept position sensors; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU -S model and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If you need higher force, the only larger standard profile bore is unavailable, so consider twin cylinders. For lower force, an 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. At 290mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate; ensure proper guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X290
- ✓ 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 SU100X290 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X290 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X290. It shares the identical 100mm bore, 290mm stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
It 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. Because this specific SKU has no magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the SAU -S replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
