This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X800S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X800S 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-SUD63X800S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800S 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-SAUD63X800S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X800S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD63X800S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, 2523 N at 0.9 MPa). The 63 mm bore features a 20 mm rod, a 3/8" port, and M16x1.5 rod threads. As a drop-in replacement, the SAUD63X800S matches the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
This design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam while driving two tools simultaneously. For a 1402 N force at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is roughly 841 N (60%), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 21 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so an external rod lock is needed for held loads. With an 800 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to manage side-load and rod-bending risks.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking plungers in prismatic cell assembly, using the equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure on the anode and cathode layers.
Module Transfer Handling
Actuates dual-sided pushers on a conveyor line to index battery modules, leveraging the double-rod's anti-rotation properties to keep the tool plate perfectly aligned.
Tab Welding Press
Applies clamping force for busbar tab welding, using the second rod end to mount a sensor cam that confirms weld head position without external brackets.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X800S with the B06-SAUD63X800S
To replace this discontinued battery-line cylinder, order the SAUD63X800S (inserting an A after the S) for an exact drop-in match in bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Because force is equal both ways, size both directions by checking neighboring bores: the 50 mm yields 825 N and the 80 mm yields 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose a double rod when you need anti-rotation stability or a back rod for a sensor cam. If your SUD used the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches, upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. For this 800 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X800S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X800S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X800S, which shares the same 63 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and changes no physical specs. You must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull force are equal both ways: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a 3/8" air port, a 20 mm piston rod, and M16x1.5 rod threads. Based on the 0.5 MPa rating, the safe working load is approximately 841 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
