This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X150S 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-SU63X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X150S 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-SAU63X150S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X150S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X150S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The leading B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X150S, mechanically identical to the standard unit with a 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, and 3/8" port. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line series with the SAU63X150S, a true drop-in upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting accessories.
When upgrading to the SAU, the extruded aluminum body and adjustable air cushions remain unchanged, but the sensor family evolves: this SU model's -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAU requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU lacked. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a vertical lift capacity of about 79 kg with a 2:1 safety 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-SAU63X150S 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-SU63X150S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa for aligning and stacking prismatic battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling Diverter
Uses the 150mm stroke to push battery packs onto secondary packaging lines, benefiting from the compact profile body.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides reliable clamping force for battery tab welding operations, with adjustable cushions ensuring smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X150S with the B06-SAU63X150S
To replace the B06-SU63X150S, order the SAU63X150S drop-in equivalent, confirming the 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must switch from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family on the SAU. If your battery line requires integrated flow control, explore the SAUF variant with its built-in 4M valve. For force sizing, verify the 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa is sufficient; if you need to step up, the neighboring 80mm bore provides 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock for vertical load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X150S
- ✓ 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-SU63X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X150S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X150S. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAU replacement shares the exact same 63mm bore, 150mm stroke, 318 kgf max force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. You can swap it directly without modifying your machine.
The 63mm bore delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 318 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Because this model has the -S magnet option, it originally used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. When upgrading to the SAU, you must switch to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
