This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X25 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-SU63X25
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 25mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X25, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25
The AirTAC B06-SU63X25 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SU63X25, mechanically identical with a 63mm bore, 25mm stroke, and 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the SU series with the SAU profile cylinder family.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X25, matching the bore, stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. This compact extruded-aluminum body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. A safe working load is approximately 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 79 kg with a 2:1 margin. This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor; furthermore, upgrading to the SAU requires switching from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X25 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAU63X25 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-SU63X25 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and compress prismatic battery cells during automated stacking processes.
Module Handling
Short 25 mm stroke executes rapid diverting and positioning of battery modules on assembly lines without exceeding speed limits.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides consistent clamping pressure for busbar tab welding operations, safely operating within the 935 N working load limit.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25 with the B06-SAU63X25
To replace this B06-SU63X25, order the SAU63X25 drop-in equivalent. Verify your 3/8" port threads (PT, G, or NPT) and SC-series mounting brackets (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC). Because this is a non-S SKU, it has no magnet and cannot support position sensing. If your battery assembly process requires holding a load during air loss, note that the adjustable 21 mm cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke end; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. For higher force needs, the neighbouring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for lighter duties, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N. The SAU family also introduces the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve for self-switching, which the SU line lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X25
- ✓ 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-SU63X25 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X25 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X25. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; the SAU63X25 matches its 63 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting perfectly.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull force, reaching 2182 N at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept sensors. If sensing is required on the SAU63X25 replacement, you must use the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
