This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X75S 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-SUD63X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75S 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-SAUD63X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75S
The B06-SUD63X75S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD63X75S double-rod, double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix denotes an industry-specific designation only; mechanically, it shares the exact 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, and 3/8" port of the base SUD model. Because a piston rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum barrel, the push and pull forces are equal both ways (1402N at 0.5MPa). This model is discontinued and the direct drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X75S, which retains the identical body, force, and FA/LB mounting.
The double-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation properties and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam, driving two tools simultaneously. With a 1402N force at 0.5MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 841N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 71kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not hold loads on air loss.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely indexes prismatic battery cells during stacking, using the rear rod cam to trigger CS1-B sensors for precise height registration.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pusher tools on the battery module assembly line, utilizing the double-rod's inherent anti-rotation to maintain alignment during part transfer.
Tab Welding Clamping
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding operations, safely managing the 841N working load while decelerating smoothly via 21mm adjustable cushions.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X75S with the B06-SAUD63X75S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD63X75S, order the SAUD63X75S by inserting an A after the leading S (SUD to SAUD), keeping the bore, stroke, and -S magnet identical. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force of 1402N at 0.5MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) for different loads. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, dual-tool driving, or a rear sensor cam. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible only). For the -S sensor change, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. For strokes >=300mm, confirm the side-load limits to prevent guide wear. For load-holding without live air, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X75S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X75S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X75S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SUD63X75S. The SAUD keeps the same 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the rod exits both ends, force is equal both ways: 1402N at 0.5MPa, 1962N at 0.7MPa, and 2523N at 0.9MPa. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s. The safe working load is ~841N (60% of the 0.5MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of ~71kg with a 2:1 margin.
