This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X30, 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 SU100X30
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X30 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X30, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X30
The AirTAC SU100X30 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 30mm stroke. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU100X30, a direct alternative retaining the exact 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The SAU upgrade keeps the same body dimensions and 801 kgf maximum theoretical force, while introducing current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a new SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line lacked. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X30 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 SAU100X30 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 SU100X30 Is Used
Heavy Pressing
Ideal for driving heavy stamping or pressing dies requiring substantial 3927 N push force over a brief 30mm travel distance.
Pallet Diverting
Provides robust actuation to push heavy loaded pallets off a main conveyor line, utilizing its high force output for reliable redirection.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large fabricated components or heavy machinery frames during machining or welding operations with dependable holding power.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X30 with the SAU100X30
To replace this discontinued SU100X30, order the SAU100X30 ensuring your 1/2" port and SC-series mounting hardware match. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if position detection is needed, you must order an SAU100X30-S and upgrade to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch family. Size both ways: a neighbouring 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100mm bore achieves 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Remember, a plain cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X30
- ✓ 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 SU100X30 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X30 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU100X30. It shares the identical 100mm bore, 30mm stroke, 1/2" port, force output, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application directly.
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/2" air port and delivers 3927 N push / 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor.
