This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X450S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X450S 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-SU63X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X450S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 450mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X450S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X450S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X450S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SU63X450S for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced drop-in by the SAU63X450S, matching the 63 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 3/8" port and SC-series mounts.
The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded aluminum body but moves to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (replacing the SU's legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches) and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is ~935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), 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-SAU63X450S 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-SU63X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly with a safe 935 N working load, ensuring precise layer alignment.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules along assembly conveyors, utilizing the 450 mm stroke to index packs between welding stations.
Pack Handling
Actuates lifting and positioning arms for heavy battery packs, where the 79 kg vertical lift capacity handles intermediate modules.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X450S with the B06-SAU63X450S
To replace this B06-SU63X450S, order the SAU63X450S drop-in: confirm the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread and PT/G/NPT thread choice. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-B/DS1-B to the SAU's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. For the 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. If sizing neighbors, a 50 mm bore yields 982 N [email protected] MPa while an 80 mm bore gives 2513 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X450S
- ✓ 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-SU63X450S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X450S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X450S, which shares the identical 63 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, output force, 3/8" port and SC-series mounting accessories.
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 318 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. Because this SU model has the -S magnet, it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires upgrading to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
