This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X600 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X600 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-SU63X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X600 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 600mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X600, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X600
The AirTAC B06-SU63X600 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X600, mechanically identical to the base model with a 63mm bore and 600mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa via a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU63X600 drop-in replacement, matching the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded aluminum body but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Since this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept any sensor. 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. The SAU line also adds a SAUF built-in-valve option the SU lacked.

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-SAU63X600 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-SU63X600 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the precise vertical stacking of prismatic cells in module assembly, utilizing the 1559 N push force to compress cell layers securely.
Pack Handling Transfer
Actuates pushers on conveyor lines to route battery packs, handling loads safely up to 935 N while maintaining smooth 600mm travel.
Tab Welding Press
Applies controlled clamping pressure for busbar tab welding, where the 318 kgf maximum force ensures rigid electrode contact.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X600 with the B06-SAU63X600
To replace this discontinued B06-SU63X600, order the SAU63X600. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) to ensure a true drop-in. Because this SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot take a sensor; if your battery line requires position detection, specify the SAU63X600S and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For the 600mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. If you need faster response, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve. Neighbouring bores: 50mm (982 N @0.5 MPa) or 80mm (2513 N @0.5 MPa).
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X600
- ✓ 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-SU63X600 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X600 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SU63X600) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X600. It shares the identical 63mm bore, 600mm stroke, 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same battery line fixtures without modification.
It delivers 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. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, but you must order the -S (magnet) version for position detection.
