This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X1000 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X1000 in place of this model. 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 B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X1000
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X1000 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X1000, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X1000
The B06-SUD63X1000 is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X1000 double-acting double-rod profile cylinder, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push and pull force are equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 63mm bore, 20mm rod, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 3/8" port. This legacy model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X1000, which retains the same body, bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can drive two tools simultaneously, it is highly effective for cell stacking and module handling. Based on the 1402 N @0.5 MPa rating, the safe working load is roughly 841 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAUD upgrade transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, as this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch and used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B hardware. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X1000 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force drives dual pressing plates for precise lithium-ion cell stacking and alignment without rotational drift.
Module Transfer Handling
The second rod extends through the rear to synchronously actuate a secondary gripper or reject mechanism during battery module transfer.
Tab Welding Press
Provides stable, equal-both-ways clamping for battery tab welding operations, ensuring consistent contact pressure across the 1000mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X1000 with the B06-SAUD63X1000
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X1000, select the drop-in SAUD63X1000, which matches the 63mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify that the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force is sufficient, or step up to the 80mm bore (2268 N) if more power is needed, stepping down to the 50mm bore (825 N) for lighter duties. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one cylinder. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles (AirTAC SC series compatible only). For the 1000mm stroke, external guides are mandatory to prevent rod bending under side-load. Since this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), sensing requires the SAUD upgrade with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X1000
- ✓ 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 B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X1000 FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X1000 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X1000, which matches the 63mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the industry application and changes no physical specs.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 3/8". The safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
