This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X350S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X350S 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-SUD63X350S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350S 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-SAUD63X350S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X350S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the leading B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X350S, 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 both ways (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This SUD series is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X350S, retaining the 3/8 inch port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam and drive two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation, double-rod designs excel in battery stacking and handling. With a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the safe working load is approximately 841 N (about 60 percent of the 1402 N force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 350 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force ensures precise, balanced pressure when pressing and stacking battery cells during module assembly.
Dual-Tool Tab Handling
The double-rod design drives two welding or handling tools simultaneously from opposite ends, optimizing cycle time on pack lines.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Resists rotational twist during horizontal transfer of heavy battery modules, maintaining strict alignment without external guides.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X350S with the B06-SAUD63X350S
To replace this discontinued cylinder, specify the SAUD63X350S as a direct drop-in replacement, matching the 63 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify your application requires equal force in both directions (1402 N at 0.5 MPa); if less force is acceptable, step down to the 50 mm bore, or step up to the 80 mm bore for higher force. A double rod is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two mechanisms from one cylinder. The -S magnet on this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, which must be upgraded to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. Because the stroke is 350 mm, ensure external guides are used to manage side-load and prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X350S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X350S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X350S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X350S. The B06- prefix simply marks this as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SUD63X350S. The SAUD retains the same bore, stroke, force, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the 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 size is 3/8 inch. The safe working load is approximately 841 N at 0.5 MPa, allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The cylinder operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
