This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X200 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-SUD63X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 200mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X200
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X200 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SUD63X200, mechanically identical with a 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, and 3/8" port. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area, so push and pull force are equal at 1402N @0.5MPa, 1962N @0.7MPa, and 2523N @0.9MPa. This model is discontinued.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200, which shares the same profile body, bore, stroke, and equal-both-ways force. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note this SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot take a magnetic switch. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841N (60% of the 0.5MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; 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 | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD63X200 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-SUD63X200 Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Uses the equal both-ways force to precisely press and align prismatic battery cells during stacking, preventing rotation.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pick-off arms simultaneously from both rod ends to shuttle battery modules smoothly between assembly stations.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping pressure on battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, using the back rod as a sensor cam.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X200 with the B06-SAUD63X200
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X200, select the SAUD63X200 drop-in, which matches the 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force (1402N @0.5MPa) handles your load; if more force is needed, step up to the 80mm bore. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. For sensing, note the SAUD changes from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot use switches. For strokes >=300mm, ensure the side-load moment stays within bearing limits.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X200
- ✓ 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-SUD63X200 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X200 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD63X200) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200, which shares the same 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAUD also uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
The double-rod design yields equal force both ways: 1402N @0.5MPa, 1962N @0.7MPa, and 2523N @0.9MPa. Based on the 0.5MPa figure, the safe working load is ~841N (60%), which translates to a vertical lift capacity of ~71kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 3/8" port and 30-800mm/s speed range remain unchanged.
