This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X700 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-SUD63X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X700 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 700mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X700, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X700
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X700 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X700, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions at each end. This discontinued model used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors and lacks a magnet (-S) for switch sensing.
This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X700, which shares the same bore, stroke, equal force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the rod exits both ends, it drives two tools simultaneously and provides anti-rotation guidance. Based on the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% factor) and vertical lift is ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD63X700 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-SUD63X700 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Synchronises two pressing plates from both ends during prismatic cell stacking, using equal both ways force to maintain precise alignment.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pusher arms simultaneously on a battery module assembly conveyor, utilising the anti-rotation benefit of the double rod.
Pack Tab Welding
Positions welding fixtures from opposite sides during battery pack tab joining, ensuring balanced clamping without single-rod push variance.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X700 with the B06-SAUD63X700
To replace the B06-SUD63X700, order the drop-in SAUD63X700, which preserves the 63mm bore, 700mm stroke, equal both ways force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify your force requirements against the 1402 N @0.5 MPa rating, or step to neighbouring bores if more equal force is needed. A double rod is right when driving two tools or needing anti-rotation. For the 700mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. Since this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the SAUD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For load holding, install an external rod lock.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X700
- ✓ 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-SUD63X700 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X700 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD63X700) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X700, sharing the same bore, stroke, equal force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the 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 ~841 N at 0.5 MPa, allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin.
