This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X560, 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 SU100X560
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 560mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X560, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560
The AirTAC SU100X560 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 560mm stroke. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses an extruded aluminum barrel that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same size. AirTAC replaced this unit with the SAU100X560, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting.
When upgrading to the SAU100X560, the body dimensions and 801 kgf maximum force remain unchanged. Note that this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor, and the SAU family now uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The SAU line also introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve variant, an option the SU series never offered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X560 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 SAU100X560 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 SU100X560 Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press Ejection
Provides the robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to eject thick metal blanks from a hydraulic stamping die, utilizing the 560mm stroke to clear the press bed entirely.
Palletized Load Shifting
Pushes loaded pallets along a heavy-duty transfer chain, taking advantage of the 200 kg safe vertical lift capacity and compact profile body to fit within tight conveyor framework.
Large Mold Transfer
Actuates a 560mm displacement to shift heavy injection molds between machining stations, requiring external guide rails to support the massive tooling weight during transit.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560 with the SAU100X560
To replace the SU100X560, order the SAU100X560, confirming the 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) are retained for a direct. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot accept a piston sensor; if sensing is required, you must select an SAU model with the -S option and use current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Operating at 0.5 MPa yields 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; if you need less force, step down to an 80mm bore (2513 N push), or step up to multiple cylinders if exceeding 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air—the 29mm adjustable cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Finally, the 560mm stroke mandates external guide rails to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X560
- ✓ 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 SU100X560 FAQ
Yes, the SU100X560 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X560. It shares the identical 100mm bore, 560mm stroke, 1/2" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same application without mechanical modifications.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, and the theoretical maximum is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor. If you need position sensing, order the SAU replacement with the -S option and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
