This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X300S 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-SUD63X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300S 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-SAUD63X300S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X300S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the battery-manufacturing dedicated B06- prefix denotes an industry-specific variant mechanically identical to the standard SUD63X300S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, 2523 N @0.9 MPa). The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions are fixed by the 63 mm bore. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X300S.
Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam while the front rod drives a tool, double-rod designs prevent rotation and synchronize two workstations without external guides. With a 1402 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 841 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The built-in piston magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold loads on air loss.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives stacking plates and returns them without force imbalance, keeping prismatic cell alignment precise during module assembly.
Tab Welding Clamp
The rear rod carries a sensor cam while the front rod clamps battery tabs, preventing rotation and maintaining electrode position for laser welding.
Pack Handling Transfer
Dual rods push and pull battery packs between conveyor belts with identical force, ensuring smooth deceleration via 21 mm cushions at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X300S with the B06-SAUD63X300S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X300S, use the SAUD63X300S drop-in: it matches the 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking the 1402 N @0.5 MPa equal-both-ways force against your load, or step to neighbor bores (50 mm or 80 mm) if margins allow. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or dual-tool driving. For the -S magnet option, change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 300 mm stroke, add external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending forces.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X300S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X300S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X300S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X300S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix only marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the standard SUD63X300S.
Force is equal both ways at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The 3/8" port and M16x1.5 rod thread are standard for the 63 mm bore.
