This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X700S 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-SUD63X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X700S 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-SAUD63X700S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X700S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X700S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X700S, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal. This unit is discontinued and the drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X700S, which retains the 63mm bore, 700mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Buyers gain anti-rotation stability and can mount a sensor cam on the back rod. Based on the 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is roughly 841 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. With a 700mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads.

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-SAUD63X700S 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-SUD63X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways push and pull force drives precise cell stacking and tabbing operations in battery module assembly without rotational drift.
Dual-Tool Pack Handling
The second rod end carries a sensor cam or drives a secondary mechanism for synchronized battery pack transfer across the production line.
Guided Electrode Press
Anti-rotation properties maintain alignment during electrode handling, while external guides support the 700mm stroke length.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X700S with the B06-SAUD63X700S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X700S, select the SAUD63X700S drop-in, which matches the 63mm bore, 700mm stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. Because force is equal both ways (1402 N at 0.5 MPa), size both directions by checking neighboring bores if margins allow. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools simultaneously. Note the -S sensor change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For this 700mm stroke, add external guides to handle side-load and rod-bending risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X700S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X700S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X700S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X700S, so the SAUD matches the 63mm bore, 700mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. You only need to upgrade the sensors from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Force is equal both ways at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 21mm cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
