This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X125 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-SUD63X125
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X125 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 125mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X125, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X125
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X125 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X125, mechanically identical in every spec. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X125, retaining the 63mm bore, 125mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounts.
The SAUD upgrade transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept magnetic switches. For sizing, the 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

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 B06-SAUD63X125 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X125 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise electrode stacking and unstacking in cell assembly lines without push/pull force mismatch.
Module Transfer
The double-rod profile provides anti-rotation stability for transferring battery modules between conveyor belts during pack assembly.
Tab Welding Feed
Drives two tools simultaneously from one compact body, indexing busbars and tabs for laser welding operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X125 with the B06-SAUD63X125
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X125, drop in the SAUD63X125, which matches the 63mm bore, 125mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force of 1402 N (@0.5 MPa) against your load, or step to neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) if margins require. A double-rod is right when you need anti-rotation guidance, or when the back rod carries a sensor cam. Because this SKU has no magnet, sensing requires external methods, though the SAUD supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes >=300, ensure side-load alignment to prevent binding. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X125
- ✓ 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-SUD63X125 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X125 is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X125. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X125, which matches the 63mm bore, 125mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The 3/8" ported, 63mm bore double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The equal force is because both faces use the rod-side area. This yields a safe working load of 841 N at 0.5 MPa.
