This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X200 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-SU63X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 200mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X200
The AirTAC B06-SU63X200 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The leading "B06-" prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SU63X200 for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it features a 3/8" port and a 20 mm piston rod. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAU63X200 drop-in replacement, matching the bore, stroke, output force, port and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade preserves the compact extruded aluminum body but modernizes sensing, utilizing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B units. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept any sensor. A practical computed insight: the 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 935 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 79 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, a self-switching option the original SU line never offered.

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-SAU63X200 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-SU63X200 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to press and align lithium-ion prismatic cells precisely during module stacking operations.
Pack Handling Divert
Uses the 200 mm stroke to push battery packs onto secondary processing lines, benefiting from the compact profile body to save machine space.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, providing stable clamping with a safe working load of 935 N for rigid manufacturing fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X200 with the B06-SAU63X200
To replace this discontinued B06-SU63X200, order the SAU63X200 drop-in equivalent, verifying the 63 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread and SC-series mounting. If your battery line requires position sensing, note this no-magnet SKU cannot take a switch; you must select an SAU63X200S and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Sizing both ways: a 50 mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore offers 2513 N. The 200 mm stroke is under the 1500 mm standard limit, but always guide the rod to prevent side-load bending. For vertical lifts, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold the load.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X200
- ✓ 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-SU63X200 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X200 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X200) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X200. It matches the original bore, stroke, force, 3/8" port and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same battery line application without mechanical changes.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 2182 N, and the theoretical max is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you order the -S version.
