This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X350S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X350S 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-SU63X350S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X350S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 350mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X350S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X350S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X350S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X350S, mechanically identical to the base model with a 63mm bore, 350mm stroke, and 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X350S. This drop-in upgrade matches the original 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting footprint.
The SAU replacement introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, superseding the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S magnet model. It also adds the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option, which 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. Note that the 350mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.

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-SAU63X350S 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-SU63X350S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and compress electrode sheets during prismatic cell stacking operations.
Module Transfer
Uses the 350mm stroke to push battery modules between assembly stations, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds busbars and cell tabs firmly in place for laser welding, benefiting from the 79 kg vertical lift capacity.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X350S with the B06-SAU63X350S
To replace the B06-SU63X350S, order the SAU63X350S drop-in equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Because this is a -S magnet model, you must upgrade your position sensors: the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches are incompatible with the SAU groove, requiring current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For the 350mm stroke, implement an external guide to absorb side loads and prevent rod bending. If your battery line needs fail-safe holding, note that standard air cushions only decelerate; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. If you need faster cycling, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve directly on the body. If force is insufficient, the neighboring 80mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X350S
- ✓ 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-SU63X350S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X350S battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X350S. It matches the 63mm bore, 350mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application variant; mechanically, the SAU63X350S is identical.
The SAU63X350S provides 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 maximum at 1.0 MPa. Because your old unit has a -S magnet, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not fit the new body; you must upgrade to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
