This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X175S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X175S 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-SUD63X175S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175S 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-SAUD63X175S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175S
The B06-SUD63X175S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD63X175S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull forces are equal both ways at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 63 mm bore. It features a 20 mm rod, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 3/8" port.
This discontinued model is fully replaced by the drop-in SAUD63X175S, which retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for space-saving feedback. With a 1402 N @0.5 MPa force, the computed safe working load is ~841 N (60%), translating to a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not hold loads on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for vertical holding. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors on this unit are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision stacking mechanisms in cell assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Module Transfer Handling
The double-rod anti-rotation property keeps battery modules flat and stable during horizontal transfer across conveyor lines without guide binding.
Tab Welding Clamps
Drives dual welding tools simultaneously from both rod ends, maintaining parallel alignment for battery tab joining operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X175S with the B06-SAUD63X175S
To replace the B06-SUD63X175S, specify the drop-in SAUD63X175S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing both ways, verify your force requirements against the equal both-ways figures (1402 N @0.5, 1962 N @0.7, 2523 N @0.9); if less force is needed, step down to the 50 mm bore, or step up to the 80 mm bore for higher loads. A double rod is the right choice when you need anti-rotation resistance, simultaneous dual-tool driving, or a rear sensor cam. Because this unit has the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes >=300 mm, carefully evaluate the side-load line to prevent guide bushing wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X175S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X175S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X175S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X175S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the base SUD63X175S. The SAUD maintains the same bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
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 bore is 63 mm with a 3/8" port, a 20 mm rod, and M16x1.5 rod thread. The computed safe working load is ~841 N, allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
