This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X300 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-SU63X300
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 300mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X300, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300
The AirTAC B06-SU63X300 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The leading B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X300, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAU63X300 drop-in: same 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B) and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch. For sizing, a safe working load is ~935 N (60% of [email protected]), equating to a ~79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAU63X300 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, providing 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa to press layers accurately within the 300 mm travel range.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along pack assembly lines, utilizing the 3/8" port for rapid cycling and adjustable cushions to smooth stops at 300 mm.
Pack Positioning
Lifts and positions heavy battery packs, safely handling vertical loads up to 79 kg with a 2:1 safety margin when operated at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300 with the B06-SAU63X300
To replace the B06-SU63X300, order the SAU63X300 drop-in, confirming the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. This non-magnet SKU supports no sensor; if sensing is needed, the SAU takes CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. At 0.5 MPa, push is 1559 N (pull 1402 N); sizing down, a 50 mm bore gives 982 N push, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. The 300 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. For load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate. The SAUF variant integrates a valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X300
- ✓ 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-SU63X300 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X300 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X300) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X300. It shares the exact same 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same application without mechanical changes.
The 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if sensing is required.
