This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X150S 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-SUD63X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X150S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X150S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X150S
The B06-SUD63X150S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X150S. Mechanically identical to the standard unit, it features an extruded aluminum profile barrel, a 20mm rod exiting both ends, and a 3/8 inch port. Because both faces use the rod-side area, push and pull force are equal at 1402N @0.5MPa, 1962N @0.7MPa, and 2523N @0.9MPa. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X150S.
The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for the installed CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors). For sizing, the 1402N @0.5MPa force yields a safe working load of about 841N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 71kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 21mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

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-SUD63X150S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise electrode stacking and pressing in cell assembly without rotational drift.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual-side conveyor pop-up pins and transfer gates on battery module lines using FA/LB mounts.
Pack Tab Welding Clamp
Applies consistent clamping pressure for battery pack tab welding, using the back rod for cam sensor feedback.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X150S with the B06-SAUD63X150S
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAUD63X150S drop-in: it matches the 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force against neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) to ensure the 1402N @0.5MPa capacity fits your system. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools simultaneously. Because this unit has the -S magnet, plan to upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD. For this 150mm stroke (which is under 300mm), side-load alignment is less critical than on longer strokes, but always confirm the rod-end M16x1.5 thread matches your mechanics.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X150S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X150S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X150S. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only, so the SAUD matches the 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and force exactly. You must upgrade the switches from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402N @0.5MPa, 1962N @0.7MPa, and 2523N @0.9MPa. The air port is 3/8 inch, the rod is 20mm with an M16x1.5 thread, and speed is 30-800mm/s. The 21mm cushions only decelerate the load; they do not hold it without live air.
