This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X800 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X800 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-SUD63X800
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 800mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X800, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X800 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the leading B06- prefix denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X800, mechanically identical to it. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways 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. This specific SKU has no magnet (-S omitted) and cannot take a magnetic switch. It features a 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions at each end.
This discontinued model is fully replaced by the drop-in SAUD63X800, which shares the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B) and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant the SU line lacked. For sizing, the computed safe working load is ~841 N (about 60% of the 1402 N @0.5 figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Because the 800 mm stroke is long, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side-load. 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-SAUD63X800 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-SUD63X800 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Module Handling
The double-rod anti-rotation特性 keeps battery modules aligned during transfer across conveyor lines without rotational drift.
Pack Tabbing Press
Drives two opposing tabbing tools simultaneously from one compact profile body, saving space in dense battery pack assembly fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800 with the B06-SAUD63X800
To replace the B06-SUD63X800, use the drop-in SAUD63X800—same 63 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, equal both-ways force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, check the neighbour bores (50 mm or 80 mm) to ensure the 1402 N @0.5 MPa equal force fits your requirement. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability, want the back rod to carry a sensor cam, or need to drive two tools simultaneously. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors; if switching to an -S SAUD, sensors change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For the 800 mm stroke, add external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending. Mounting is compatible with the AirTAC SC series only.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X800
- ✓ 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-SUD63X800 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X800 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X800. The B06- prefix marks this as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SUD63X800, and the SAUD shares the exact bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and equal both-ways force. The SAUD also upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant.
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. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 21 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
