This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X250S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X250S 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-SU63X250S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X250S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X250S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X250S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X250S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X250S, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa through a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X250S drop-in replacement, retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade is a true drop-in but switches the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and introduces the SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line lacked. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The extruded aluminum body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

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-SAU63X250S 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-SU63X250S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the precision stacking of lithium battery cells, utilizing the 1559 N push force to press and align electrode layers reliably.
Module Pack Handling
Transfers battery modules along the assembly conveyor with a 250mm stroke, matching the spacing requirements of pack integration lines.
Tab Welding Positioning
Positions battery tabs for laser welding with stable 0.5 MPa operation, ensuring consistent contact alignment during the joining process.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X250S with the B06-SAU63X250S
To replace this discontinued B06-SU63X250S, order the SAU63X250S. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) which all carry over directly. Because your SKU includes the -S magnet, note that the SAU requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If sizing alternatives, a 50mm bore yields 982 N push while an 80mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For the 250mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. The SAUF variant adds a built-in 4M solenoid valve if self-switching is needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X250S
- ✓ 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-SU63X250S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X250S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X250S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; the SAU replacement shares the identical 63mm bore, 250mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
The bore delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, and a 318 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. Because your SU has the -S magnet, it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
