This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X600S 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-SUD63X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X600S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 600mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X600S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X600S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X600S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X600S, mechanically identical in every spec. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal (1402 N at 0.5 MPa). This configuration provides inherent anti-rotation properties and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam, driving two tools simultaneously. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This discontinued model is replaced drop-in by the SAUD63X600S, retaining the 63mm bore, 600mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit uses CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the computed safe working load is approximately 841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAUD63X600S 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.

Legacy SU-family variants: SUD (double rod), SUJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAU equivalent (SUD→SAUD, SUJ→SAUJ). The current SAU line adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force ensures precise, anti-rotational pressing and separation of battery cell layers during automated module stacking.
Pack Handling Transfer
Dual outward rods drive synchronized grippers to shuttle battery packs between conveyor belts without requiring a secondary cylinder.
Tab Welding Press
The back rod carries a sensor cam for exact position feedback while the front rod applies stable, equal clamping force for battery tab welding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X600S with the B06-SAUD63X600S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X600S, install the drop-in SAUD63X600S, which matches the 63mm bore, 600mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing both ways, verify force at neighboring bores; the 50mm bore yields 825 N while the 80mm bore yields 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, both equal in push and pull. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation or dual-tool driving is required. If your SUD has the -S magnet, note the sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. For this 600mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X600S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X600S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X600S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X600S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X600S, and the SAUD retains the exact same bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is 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". Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 21mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is needed for held loads.
