This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X225 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X225 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-SU63X225
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X225 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X225, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X225
The AirTAC B06-SU63X225 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X225, mechanically identical to the base model with a 63 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa and uses a 3/8" port. Because the SU line is end-of-life, AirTAC supplies the SAU63X225 as the exact drop-in replacement, preserving the original bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade keeps the compact extruded aluminum body—shorter than a same-bore ISO 15552 cylinder—but modernizes the sensing groove to accept current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches (the legacy SU used CS1-B/DS1-B). Note that this specific B06-SU63X225 SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept any sensor. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 1559 N push force), equating to a vertical lift capacity of about 79 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The SAU family also introduces a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an option the 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 | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X225 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for aligning and stacking prismatic battery cells in module assembly, utilizing the 1559 N push force to seat cells firmly without damaging housings.
Pack Handling Divert
Drives diverting arms on conveyor lines to route battery packs through welding or testing stations, benefiting from the compact 63 mm profile body.
Tab Welding Clamp
Applies consistent clamping pressure on battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, with adjustable cushions ensuring smooth deceleration at the 225 mm stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X225 with the B06-SAU63X225
To replace the discontinued B06-SU63X225, order the SAU63X225. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC) to ensure a true drop-in fit. Because this SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support position sensing; if your battery line requires switches, specify the SAU63X225S and upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push and 1402 N pull; if you need less force, step down to a 50 mm bore (982 N push), or step up to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push) for heavier pack handling. For loads requiring holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as standard cushions only decelerate. With a 225 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X225
- ✓ 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-SU63X225 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC B06-SU63X225 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SU63X225) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X225. It shares the identical 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 1559 N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same battery line without mechanical modifications.
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 1559 N and pull is 1402 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 2182 N, and the theoretical max is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. If sensing is needed, order the SAU63X225S and use current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, as the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors are obsolete.
