This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X500STC, 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 SU100X500STC
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500STC 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 SAU100X500STC, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500STC
The AirTAC SU100X500STC is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 500mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/2 inch port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAU100X500STC, a direct upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port size, and SC-series TC mounting accessory.
The SAU upgrade switches the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option which the SU line lacked. The extruded aluminum body remains more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

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 SAU100X500STC 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 SU100X500STC Is Used
Heavy Press Ejection
Delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject heavy stamped metal parts from press beds, utilizing the 500mm stroke to clear the tooling area completely.
Pallet Dispenser Pusher
Moves stacked empty pallets along a conveyor line. The 100mm bore provides the necessary brute force, while the TC mount handles the offset gravitational loads.
Large Mold Actuation
Actuates heavy industrial molding doors or core pulls. The 29mm adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the substantial moving mass smoothly over the 500mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X500STC with the SAU100X500STC
To replace this discontinued SU100X500STC, order the SAU100X500STC direct equivalent, verifying the 100mm bore, 500mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and TC mounting. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to the SAU's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If sizing neighbors, the 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100mm bore hits 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. At 500mm stroke, prevent rod bending by supporting the load with external guides. The SAUF variant adds a self-switching valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X500STC
- ✓ 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 SU100X500STC FAQ
Yes, the SU100X500STC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X500STC. It matches the 100mm bore, 500mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, output force, and SC-series TC mounting. You simply order the SAU equivalent.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681 N. Push force is 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this model has the -S magnet, it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
