This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X250S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X250S 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-SUD63X250S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X250S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X250S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X250S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X250S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X250S, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal (1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, 2523 N @0.9 MPa). It features a 63mm bore, 20mm rod, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 3/8" port. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X250S, retaining the same body, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
This design provides equal-both-ways force and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously, while the extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

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-SUD63X250S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways force drives stacking plates in cell assembly, ensuring precise alignment without rotational drift during battery cell layering.
Module Transfer Handling
The double-rod profile moves battery modules on a conveyor line, using the back rod to sync a secondary gripper for synchronized part transfer.
Pack Tabbing Press
Applies consistent 1402 N @0.5 MPa force both ways to form battery pack tabs, with the compact profile barrel fitting tight assembly cell spaces.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X250S with the B06-SAUD63X250S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X250S, use the drop-in SAUD63X250S (insert A after S), which preserves the 63mm bore, 250mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. When sizing both ways, verify equal force at neighbouring bores: the 50mm yields 825/1154/1484 N, while the 80mm yields 2268/3175/4082 N (@0.5/@0.7/@0.9 MPa). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, equal push/pull force, or a back rod to drive a second tool. Because this model has a 250mm stroke (under 300mm), side-load alignment is less critical but still verify guide tolerance. The -S magnet means you must change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. Remember, cushions decelerate but do not hold loads on air loss.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X250S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X250S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X250S is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X250S, mechanically identical. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X250S, which matches the 63mm bore, 250mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the -S magnet sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
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 63mm bore uses a 3/8" port. The safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
