This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X75 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-SUD63X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X75 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines, where the B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant mechanically identical to the standard SUD63X75. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, generating equal push and pull force. This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X75, matching the 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used here, and adds an SAUF built-in-valve option.
With a 20mm rod and M16x1.5 thread, this compact extruded-aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Equal-both-ways force is 1402N at 0.5MPa, 1962N at 0.7MPa, and 2523N at 0.9MPa. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 841N (60% of the 0.5MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71kg with a 2:1 margin. The double-rod design prevents piston rotation and allows the back rod to drive a second tool. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept magnetic switches.

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-SAUD63X75 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-SUD63X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for pressing and separating battery cell layers during module stacking, using the back rod to synchronize a parallel clamp.
Tab Welding Press
Maintains anti-rotation stability through the double-rod profile to hold battery tabs precisely under a welding head without positional drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual pusher arms from both rod ends to shift battery packs between conveyor lanes simultaneously, halving cycle time.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75 with the B06-SAUD63X75
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X75, specify the SAUD63X75, which preserves the 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force of 1402N at 0.5MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) to scale force. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation stability or driving two tools from one piston is required. Mounting is compatible with AirTAC SC series accessories only. Because this SKU has no magnet, sensing requires external methods, whereas the SAUD supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X75
- ✓ 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-SUD63X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X75, which matches the 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix simply marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X75, sharing identical specifications. The SAUD also upgrades sensing to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 3/8" ported 63mm bore provides equal push and pull force of 1402N at 0.5MPa, 1962N at 0.7MPa, and 2523N at 0.9MPa. The safe working load is approximately 841N. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches.
