This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU100X970S, 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 SU100X970S
The AirTAC Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X970S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 970mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU100X970S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X970S
The AirTAC SU100X970S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 970mm stroke. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 1/2" port and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU100X970S, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port size, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The SAU upgrade transitions from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option the SU line lacked. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU100X970S 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 SAU100X970S 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 SU100X970S Is Used
Heavy Material Lifts
Elevates 200 kg platens vertically using the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, relying on external guides to manage the 970mm stroke.
Pallet Diverting
Actuates heavy lane diverters on packaging lines, taking advantage of the 1/2" port for rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling.
Press Ejection
Clears dense parts from hydraulic presses where the 100mm bore provides the necessary 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU100X970S with the SAU100X970S
To replace the SU100X970S, order the SAU100X970S direct equivalent, verifying the 100mm bore, 970mm stroke, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must upgrade your sensors: the SAU uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B. If you need integrated air control, explore the SAUF variant with its built-in valve. For sizing alternatives, a 100mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa (or 5497 N at 0.7 MPa), while an 80mm bore drops to 2513 N. At 970mm, this long stroke demands external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Finally, standard cushions only decelerate; add a pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU100X970S
- ✓ 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 SU100X970S FAQ
Yes, the SU100X970S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAU100X970S, which maintains the same 100mm bore, 970mm stroke, output force, 1/2" port, and SC-series mounting accessories.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497 N, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this model has the -S magnet, it used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
