This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SU series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAUD100X10, 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 SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X10
The AirTAC SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X10 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAUD100X10, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X10
The AirTAC SUD100X10 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 10mm stroke. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal at 3681N @0.5 MPa, 5153N @0.7 MPa, and 6626N @0.9 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAUD100X10, retaining the exact 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a magnetic switch.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can drive two tools simultaneously, this compact profile body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding on air loss.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The SAUD100X10 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 SAUD100X10 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 SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X10 Is Used
Dual-Tool Pressing
Drives two opposing forming tools simultaneously with equal 3681N force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring balanced output without requiring a separate cylinder.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Moves a parts pusher across a belt using the second rod to prevent mechanical twist, maintaining precise alignment on a compact 10mm stroke.
Guided Ejector
Ejects finished goods from a fixture using the inherent double-rod guidance to resist side-loading and maintain strict perpendicularity.
Replacing the Airtac SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X10 with the SAUD100X10
To replace the SUD100X10, use the SAUD100X10 direct: it matches the 100mm bore, 10mm stroke, equal both-ways force, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (80mm or 63mm) if you need less force, ensuring the equal push/pull output meets your requirement. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one actuator. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept sensors; upgrading to the SAUD allows modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For this 10mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always verify shaft alignment.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → SAUD100X10
- ✓ 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 SUD Series Double Rod Cylinder SUD100X10 FAQ
Yes, the SUD100X10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAUD100X10, which matches the 100mm bore, 10mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, while this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681N @0.5 MPa, 5153N @0.7 MPa, and 6626N @0.9 MPa.
