This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X45CA, 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.

The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X45CA is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X45CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU100X45CA is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 45mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 3927 N and pull of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAU100X45CA, matching the 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, 29mm cushion, and SC-series CA mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded body but adds modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch compatibility on its -S variants, plus a new SAUF valve-integrated option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X45CA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAU100X45CA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |

| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×45 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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.
Drives a 100mm bore tooling head providing 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for forming metal components securely.
Executes short 45mm strokes to index heavy pallets, utilizing the compact profile body to fit tight conveyor frames.
Applies 3681 N of pull force to lock large workpieces in place using the CA clevis mount for pivoting leverage.
To replace the SU100X45CA, order the SAU100X45CA. Verify your CA mounting (SC-series), 1/2" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. Since this is a non-magnetic SKU, it cannot hold a switch; if sensing is needed, order an SAU100X45CA-S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. This 100mm bore outputs 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less force is acceptable, an 80mm bore gives 2513 N. Note: a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SU100X45CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X45CA. It matches the 100mm bore, 45mm stroke, 3927 N force, 1/2" port, and CA mounting. You also gain the option of the SAUF built-in-valve variant.
It delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the SAU-S replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU100X45CA replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
