This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X300S 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-SU63X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300S 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-SAU63X300S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X300S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X300S, mechanically identical for cell and pack assembly tasks. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, it is directly replaced by the SAU63X300S.
The SAU drop-in replacement keeps the 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAU upgrades the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and introduces the SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X300S 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-SAU63X300S 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.

| -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-SU63X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for aligning and pressing battery cells during module stacking, utilizing the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to ensure precise, repeatable contact.
Pack Assembly Handling
Drives indexing mechanisms on battery pack assembly lines, moving heavy trays with a safe working load of approximately 935 N.
Tab Welding Positioning
Provides the stable 300 mm extension required to position battery tabs for laser welding, demanding external guides to prevent rod bending.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X300S with the B06-SAU63X300S
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU63X300S. Confirm the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and PT/G/NPT thread choice. Because this is a 300 mm stroke, guide external loads to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The -S magnet means you must switch from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Sizing both ways: a 50 mm bore gives 982 N [email protected] MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X300S
- ✓ 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-SU63X300S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X300S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU63X300S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X300S, which matches the 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 318 kgf max force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 318 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet on this SU worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
