This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X300 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-SUD63X300
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 300mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X300, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X300 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X300, mechanically identical to the base model. This discontinued unit features a 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, a 3/8 inch port, and M16x1.5 rod threads. The drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X300, which retains the same profile body, bore, stroke, and SC-series FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used here, and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod drive a second tool. Based on the 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is about 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 21 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads. At 300 mm, use external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD63X300 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAUD63X300 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-SUD63X300 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise stacking and pressing operations in prismatic cell assembly without rotational drift.
Module Handling
The rear rod simultaneously operates a secondary reject gate while the front rod pushes battery modules onto the conveyor.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping pressure on battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, using the back rod for cam actuation.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300 with the B06-SAUD63X300
To replace this discontinued B06-SUD63X300, use the drop-in SAUD63X300, matching the 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. Because force is equal both ways, size it by checking the 1402 N at 0.5 MPa against your load, or step to neighbouring bores if more force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or a back rod to drive a second tool. Since this SKU has no magnet, the SAUD upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors only applies if you buy the -S version. For the 300 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod-bending under side-load.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X300
- ✓ 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-SUD63X300 FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X300 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X300, which shares the same 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, equal force, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only and does not change physical specs.
As a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is 3/8 inch. The safe working load is about 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
