This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X25S 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-SU63X25S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25S 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-SAU63X25S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X25S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X25S, mechanically identical to the standard line for cell and pack assembly tasks. Delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 3/8" port, its extruded aluminum barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X25S, a true drop-in replacement matching the 63 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, output force, and SC-series mounting. The upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to replace the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S magnet model, and adds 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 force), equating to a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X25S 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-SAU63X25S 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.
Model Code: Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25S
| SU | Profile-type standard cylinder (discontinued). |

| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×25 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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-SU63X25S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 935 N safe working load to press and align lithium-ion battery cells precisely during automated stacking and packaging operations.
Module Handling
Uses the short 25 mm stroke to execute rapid diverting and positioning stops for battery modules moving along high-speed assembly conveyors.
Pack Lift Stations
Lifts battery packs up to 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, leveraging the compact profile body to save space in tight transfer cells.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X25S with the B06-SAU63X25S
To replace the B06-SU63X25S, order the SAU63X25S drop-in equivalent, confirming the 63 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. Because this is a -S magnet model, note that your existing CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family on the SAU. If you need integrated pneumatic control, the SAU variant offers a built-in 4M solenoid valve (SAUF) that the SU series never had. For loads needing 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, this 63 mm bore is ideal, while stepping down to a 50 mm bore drops the push force to 982 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushions only decelerate—so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X25S
- ✓ 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-SU63X25S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X25S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X25S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X25S, which shares the identical 63 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull force, reaching 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it originally used CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
