This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X380FA, 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 SU100X380FA
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X380FA is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 380mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X380FA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X380FA
The AirTAC SU100X380FA is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 380 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/2 inch port. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU100X380FA direct replacement, matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size and SC-series FA mounting accessory.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a piston switch. The SAU upgrade retains the extruded aluminium body that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, but introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on its -S variants and a new SAUF built-in 4M valve option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X380FA 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 SAU100X380FA 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 SU100X380FA Is Used
Heavy Press Demolding
Drives large injection mold halves apart using 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, relying on the 29 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Bulk Package Diverting
Pushes heavy cartons across transfer plates using the FA front mount, maintaining steady 30-800 mm/s speeds despite the 100 mm bore mass.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X380FA with the SAU100X380FA
To replace the SU100X380FA, order the SAU100X380FA and verify the 100 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread and SC-series FA front mounting. If stepping down, the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not available as 100 mm is the largest profile. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor, whereas an SAU -S variant uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. The 380 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. For self-switching, explore the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X380FA
- ✓ 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 SU100X380FA FAQ
Yes, the SU100X380FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X380FA. It matches the 100 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, force and SC-series FA mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor, while the SAU -S replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
