This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X200S 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-SU63X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X200S 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-SAU63X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X200S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X200S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-dedicated variant of the SU63X200S, mechanically identical to the standard profile body with a 63mm bore, 200mm stroke, and 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X200S, a true drop-in sharing the exact bore, stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting accessories.
When upgrading, note that the SAU replacement transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, retiring the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S magnet model. The extruded aluminum profile remains shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 79 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU series lacked.

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-SAU63X200S 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-SU63X200S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 935 N working force to align and compress battery cell stacks during electrode assembly.

Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs during laser welding with precise 200mm stroke positioning and adjustable cushions.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X200S with the B06-SAU63X200S
To replace the B06-SU63X200S, order the SAU63X200S and verify your 3/8" port threads (PT, G, or NPT) alongside the M16x1.5 rod-end connection. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), you must swap the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new cylinder. If your battery assembly process requires intermediate stopping or load holding on air loss, remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding. If you need to scale up or down, the neighboring 50mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80mm bore provides 2513 N. For high-cycle actuation, consider the SAUF model with its integrated valve to simplify pneumatics.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X200S
- ✓ 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-SU63X200S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X200S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X200S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAU replacement matches it exactly on bore, stroke, force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1559 N and pulls 1402 N. Push force is 2182 N at 0.7 MPa and 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is a -S magnet model, the original CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
