This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X100S 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-SU63X100S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X100S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X100S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X100S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X100S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X100S, mechanically identical to the standard unit for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa through a 63 mm bore, it is replaced by the drop-in SAU63X100S, which preserves the exact stroke, force, 3/8" port and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S SKU, and introduces the SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line lacked. The extruded aluminum body remains shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X100S 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-SAU63X100S 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X100S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 1559 N push force to press and align battery materials reliably.
Module Handling
Actuates diverters and stops on conveyor lines for battery module transfer, benefiting from the compact profile body to fit tight machine footprints.
Pack Tabbing Press
Applies controlled clamping pressure during busbar welding and tabbing operations on battery packs, ensuring stable contact without live air holding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X100S with the B06-SAU63X100S
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAU63X100S, confirming the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread and SC-series mounts. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must switch to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For loads needing holding on air loss, add an external rod lock, as cushions only decelerate. If sizing neighbors, a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. The 100 mm stroke avoids rod-bending side-load risks seen over 300 mm. For battery lines needing faster cycling, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X100S
- ✓ 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-SU63X100S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X100S battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X100S. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only, so the SAU retains full mechanical compatibility for your battery line.
The 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because your old unit has the -S magnet, note that the SAU replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Speed remains 30-800 mm/s.
