This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X200S 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-SUD63X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X200S 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-SAUD63X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X200S
The B06-SUD63X200S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X200S, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. This discontinued model features a 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and adjustable 21mm cushions. The drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200S, which retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can carry a sensor cam for two-tool driving, it is highly effective in cell stacking and module handling. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N (60%) and a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding on air loss.

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-SAUD63X200S 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-SUD63X200S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push/pull force and dual rods provide the anti-rotation stability needed to precisely stack battery cells without drift during retraction.
Module Transfer Handling
The back rod carries a sensor cam while the front rod drives the tool, streamlining the transfer of battery modules across assembly conveyors.
Tab Welding Press
Delivers a consistent 1962 N @0.7 MPa clamping force both ways to hold battery tabs securely in place during the automated welding process.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X200S with the B06-SAUD63X200S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X200S, drop in the SAUD63X200S, which matches the 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. If sizing both ways, verify force at neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) to ensure the equal-both-ways output meets your battery-line requirements. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-tool driving. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet; when upgrading, change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For this 200mm stroke, side-load alignment is moderate, but for any stroke >=300mm, carefully manage guide rod parallelism to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X200S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X200S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X200S. The B06- prefix only denotes the industry application and does not change specs; the SAUD matches the 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must only upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
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. Based on the 0.5 MPa figure, the safe working load is approximately 841 N (60%), allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock for holding.
