This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X350 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X350 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-SUD63X350
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 350mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X350, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X350 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X350, sharing exact mechanical specifications. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning push and pull force is equal both ways at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 63 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions.
This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X350, which retains the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. For buyer insight, the safe working load is roughly 841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The back rod provides an anti-rotation benefit and can drive two tools simultaneously.

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-SUD63X350 Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Drives precision stacking plates in prismatic cell assembly, using the equal both ways force to compress and index battery materials without rotational drift.
Module Handling Transfer
Transfers battery modules along the line via dual rod ends, allowing synchronized push and pull actions across the conveyor without reversing a single rod.
Pack Tab Welding
Positions battery packs for tab welding operations where the back rod acts as a sensor cam surface or drives a secondary clamping tool simultaneously.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350 with the B06-SAUD63X350
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X350, use the drop-in SAUD63X350, matching the 63 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal both ways force (1402 N @0.5 MPa) meets your needs, or step to neighbouring bores (50 mm or 80 mm). A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or two-tool driving. For the 350 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod-bending side loads. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors; the SAUD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For load holding, add an external rod lock, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X350
- ✓ 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-SUD63X350 FAQ
Yes, this SUD model is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X350. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X350. The SAUD shares the exact bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and equal both ways force, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
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 air port is 3/8". The safe working load is approximately 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
