This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD63X900S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD63X900S 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-SUD63X900S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X900S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 900mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD63X900S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X900S
The AirTAC B06-SUD63X900S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where a rod exits both ends, making push and pull force equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X900S, mechanically identical with a 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. This discontinued model used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
As a drop-in replacement, the SAUD63X900S matches the bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam. For sizing, the safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

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-SAUD63X900S 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-SUD63X900S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways force drives precise cell stacking and pressing in battery module assembly without rotational drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
Dual rods drive two synchronized pushers to move battery packs between conveyor belts with stable anti-rotation control.
Tab Welding Clamp
The back rod carries a sensor cam for exact position feedback during battery tab welding and clamping operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD63X900S with the B06-SAUD63X900S
To replace the B06-SUD63X900S, use the SAUD63X900S drop-in, which preserves the 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal-both-ways force. If sizing both ways, check neighboring bores (50 mm or 80 mm) to ensure the 1402 N @0.5 MPa force fits your application. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or dual-tool driving. Mounting is Basic, FA, or LB only. Because this has an -S magnet, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. For this 900 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD63X900S
- ✓ 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-SUD63X900S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD63X900S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD63X900S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal force. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD63X900S, so all physical specs remain identical.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The safe working load is ~841 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of ~71 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
