This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X150 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-SU63X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X150 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 150mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X150, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X150
The AirTAC B06-SU63X150 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X150, mechanically identical to the base model. As a compact extruded-aluminum cylinder shorter than an ISO 15552 equivalent, it delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa through a 3/8" port.
AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X150 drop-in replacement. It matches the 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting. The upgrade switches sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is ~935 N (60% of [email protected]), yielding a ~79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAU63X150 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-SU63X150 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent pressure for lithium-ion cell stacking and alignment, utilizing the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa for precise electrode handling.
Module Transfer
Actuates sorting and routing gates on battery module assembly conveyors, where the compact profile saves space without sacrificing 1402 N pull force.
Tab Welding Clamp
Positions and clamps battery tabs during ultrasonic welding operations, providing reliable holding with a safe working load of 935 N.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X150 with the B06-SAU63X150
To replace this B06-SU63X150, order the SAU63X150. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounts (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU-S model and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. At 150 mm stroke, side-load risk is low, but ensure guide alignment. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. If you need more force, the 80 mm bore offers 2513 N [email protected]; if less is needed, the 50 mm bore provides 982 N. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve if you want self-switching.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X150
- ✓ 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-SU63X150 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X150 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU63X150) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X150. It shares the same 63 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 3/8" port, force, and SC-series mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B.
This double-acting cylinder provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept magnetic switches; order the SAU63X150S if position sensing is required.
