This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X560S, 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 SU100X560S
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560S 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 SAU100X560S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560S
The AirTAC SU100X560S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 100mm bore and 560mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminium barrel and adjustable air cushions at both ends, it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 801 kgf. The direct replacement is the SAU100X560S, matching the 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The -S suffix on this legacy SKU indicates a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches; upgrading to the SAU requires switching to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the original SU line never offered.

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 SAU100X560S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560S Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Secures large metal castings during machining operations, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to hold components rigidly against cutting forces.
Bulk Material Diversion
Actuates heavy-duty routing gates on high-capacity production lines, relying on the 1/2" air port for rapid volume flow to maintain 30-800 mm/s speeds.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X560S with the SAU100X560S
To replace this SU100X560S, order the SAU100X560S direct equivalent, verifying the 100mm bore, 560mm stroke, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting hardware (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new SAU body. If your application needs self-switching without external plumbing, consider the SAUF100X560S valve-integrated variant. For sizing alternatives, dropping to an 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while pushing pressure to 0.7 MPa on this 100mm bore yields 5497 N. With a 560mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads. Finally, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X560S
- ✓ 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 SU100X560S FAQ
Yes, the SU100X560S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAU100X560S. It shares the same 100mm bore, 560mm stroke, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, fitting the exact same application space.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497 N, and the theoretical maximum is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is a -S model, it has a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
