This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAU63X100N, 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 SU63X100N
The AirTAC SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100N is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAU63X100N, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100N
The AirTAC SU63X100N is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it is more compact than an ISO 15552 unit of the same size while delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU63X100N, a direct replacement retaining the exact 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
This NBR-sealed (-N) SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a sensor, whereas the SAU upgrade accommodates modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on its -S variants. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF built-in 4M valve option, which the SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAU63X100N carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAU63X100N 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 SU63X100N Is Used
Mid-Tonnage Clamping
Secures heavy workpieces in CNC machining fixtures, utilizing the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to hold components rigidly against cutting forces.
Package Diversion
Actuates routing gates and pushers on packaging lines, where the 100 mm stroke provides rapid, decisive lateral movement to sort heavy goods.
Replacing the Airtac SU63-100 Standard Cylinder SU63X100N with the SAU63X100N
To replace this discontinued SU63X100N, order the SAU63X100N, confirming the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting accessories are identical. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot support position sensing; if sensing is required, specify an SAU63X100NS and adopt the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch family instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. When sizing, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 50 mm bore offers 982 N and the 80 mm provides 2513 N. Note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates the stroke—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. At 100 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAU63X100N
- ✓ 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 SU63X100N FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SU63X100N is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAU63X100N. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 1559 N output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application directly.
The 63 mm bore generates 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific -N SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, an -S variant on the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
