This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X500, 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 SU100X500
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X500, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500
The AirTAC SU100X500 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 500mm stroke. Delivering 3927N push force at 0.5MPa, it uses an extruded aluminum barrel that is more compact than an ISO 15552 unit of the same size. The direct replacement is the SAU100X500, matching the 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod, and SC-series mounts.
Upgrading to the SAU100X500 preserves the original body, bore, stroke, and force. Because this specific SU SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is needed, the SAU family supports current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, whereas legacy SU models used CS1-B/DS1-B. The SAU line also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the SU never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X500 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 SAU100X500 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. |
| ×500 | 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.
Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Drives heavy tooling with 3927N push at 0.5MPa, utilizing the 500mm stroke to cycle large metal forming dies.
Pallet Lift Station
Lifts loaded pallets vertically, safely handling the 200kg computed lift capacity while requiring external guides for stability.
Automated Assembly Line
Actuates large clamping fixtures and heavy industrial doors, relying on the 29mm adjustable cushions to decelerate massive loads.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500 with the SAU100X500
To replace this discontinued SU100X500, order the SAU100X500. Verify your 1/2" port thread (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC). Since this SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, order an SAU100X500S and note that the SAU uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing both ways: dropping to a bore 80 yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa, while a bore 100 provides 5497N at 0.7MPa. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical holding. With a 500mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load forces. The SAUF valve-integrated option is available if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X500
- ✓ 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 SU100X500 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X500 is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU100X500. It offers the same 100mm bore, 500mm stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting accessories, fitting directly into your existing application.
The SU100X500 delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a magnetic switch. The SAU100X500S replacement supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
