This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X480S, 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 SU100X480S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X480S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 480mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X480S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X480S
The AirTAC SU100X480S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 480 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/2" port. The direct replacement is the SAU100X480S, matching the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to replace the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S model, and adds a SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line lacked.

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 SAU100X480S 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 SU100X480S Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press Feed
Drives robust 200 kg material blanks into a hydraulic press, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome high initial mechanical friction.
Pallet Discharge Gate
Actuates a heavy-duty discharge gate on a conveyor line, where the 480 mm stroke provides the full clearance needed to release loaded pallets.
Mold Clamp Actuation
Secures industrial injection molds by extending across a 480 mm gap, relying on the 1/2" port for rapid volume filling to maintain cycle speed.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X480S with the SAU100X480S
To replace this discontinued SU100X480S, order the SAU100X480S direct equivalent. Verify your 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this -S model uses a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, you must switch to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. If you need integrated air flow control, explore the SAUF variant with its built-in 4M solenoid valve. For sizing alternatives, dropping to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while staying at 100 mm provides 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. At 480 mm stroke, prevent side-load and rod-bending by using an external guide to support the load.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X480S
- ✓ 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 SU100X480S FAQ
Yes, the SU100X480S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X480S. It matches the 100 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 3927 N force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting. You simply order the SAU equivalent.
The bore 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 is an -S model with a magnet, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new SAU.
