This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X1000S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X1000S 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X1000S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X1000S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X1000S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X1000S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-dedicated variant of the base SU63X1000S, mechanically identical with a 63mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and 1559N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X1000S, a true drop-in sharing the same body, force, port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade switches the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and adds a SAUF built-in-valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), allowing a 79kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for held loads, and at 1000mm use external guides to prevent rod bending.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X1000S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAU63X1000S 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X1000S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, utilizing the 1559N push force to press and align battery layers accurately over the 1000mm travel.
Module Transfer
Moves heavy battery modules between processing stations on conveyor lines, where the 3/8" port ensures rapid cycling at 30-800 mm/s.
Pack Handling
Indexes battery packs into testing or packaging zones, requiring external guides to manage the side-load risks associated with the 1000mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X1000S with the B06-SAU63X1000S
To replace this discontinued B06-SU63X1000S, order the SAU63X1000S drop-in equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the SAU-compatible CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. For sizing both ways: a 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa (too small), while an 80mm bore yields 2513N. At 0.7MPa this 63mm bore pushes 2182N. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; add a pilot-operated check valve for vertical holding. With a 1000mm stroke, external guides are critical to prevent rod bending. The SAUF variant offers a built-in 4M valve if you need self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X1000S
- ✓ 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X1000S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X1000S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU63X1000S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X1000S, which shares the identical 63mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, force, and SC-series mounting.
At 0.5MPa it pushes 1559N and pulls 1402N; at 0.7MPa it pushes 2182N, and the theoretical max is 318kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU replacement requires the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
