This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X175 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-SUD63X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X175, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175
The B06-SUD63X175 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X175, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This SUD series is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X175, retaining the 63mm bore, 175mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the rear rod can drive a second tool simultaneously without rotation issues, it is highly effective for compact battery stacking and handling tasks. Based on the 1402 N @0.5 MPa output, the computed safe working load is roughly 841 N (60%), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot accept magnetic switches; the legacy SUD used CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, whereas the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A plain cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss—the adjustable 21mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation stacking of prismatic battery cells in module assembly lines.
Dual-Tool Tab Welding
Uses the rear rod extension to carry a secondary welding clamp, synchronizing operations on battery tabs within a compact footprint.
Pack Handling Transfer
Transfers battery packs between conveyors with equal push and pull thrust, ensuring stable deceleration via adjustable cushions.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175 with the B06-SAUD63X175
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X175, specify the SAUD63X175 as a direct drop-in, matching the 63mm bore, 175mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. Size both ways by comparing neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) while ensuring the equal-both-ways force (1402 N @0.5 MPa) meets your requirement. Choose a double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one cylinder. Because this non-magnetic SKU lacks a sensor cam, sensing requires external methods or upgrading to the SAUD with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes of 300mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Never rely on the air cushions for load-holding; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical battery module handling.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X175
- ✓ 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-SUD63X175 FAQ
Yes, the SUD series is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X175, which matches the 63mm bore, 175mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal both-ways force. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD63X175.
The double-rod design provides equal force 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 computed 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.
