This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X50SH, 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 SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X50SH is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X50SH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SU100X50SH is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and features a high-temperature Viton H seal rated for 0-150 C. The direct replacement is the SAU100X50SH, matching the 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded body but switches the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and introduces the SAUF valve-integrated option.

The SAU100X50SH 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.
Drives heavy stamping and forming dies using 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with the Viton H seal handling heated tooling environments up to 150 C.
Ejects hot molded parts from machinery where standard NBR seals would fail, relying on the 0-150 C FKM seal and 7068 N output at 0.9 MPa.
Acts as a robust 100 mm bore stopper gate on heavy-duty pallet conveyors, dropping into existing SC-series mounting brackets via the SAU replacement.
To replace this SU100X50SH, order the SAU100X50SH direct equivalent, verifying the 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and high-temp Viton H seal. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. If checking neighbouring bores, an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. The cushion only decelerates the load; it does not hold position on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical holding. For future valve-integrated needs, explore the SAUF variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SU100X50SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X50SH. It shares the same 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, output force, and SC-series mounting. You simply order the SAU model, though your -S magnet will require upgrading from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
This 100 mm bore cylinder has a 1/2 inch port and provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is 29 mm at both ends, but note the cushion only decelerates the load; it will not hold the load without live air.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAU100X50SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
