This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X700 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-SU63X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 700mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X700, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700
The AirTAC B06-SU63X700 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the SU63X700, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 63 mm bore and 700 mm stroke.
AirTAC replaced the SU line with the SAU series. The SAU63X700 is the exact drop-in replacement, matching the bore, stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounts. The SAU upgrade adopts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B) and adds an optional SAUF built-in 4M valve. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a sensor. With a 1559 N output, expect a safe working load of 935 N or 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-SAU63X700 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-SU63X700 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the extended 700 mm stacking stroke for lithium battery cell assembly, handling intermediate layers with a safe 935 N working load.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules along assembly conveyors, utilizing the 1559 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to overcome friction over long linear travel.
Pack Handling
Indexes battery packs into testing fixtures, relying on the compact profile body to fit dense manufacturing cell layouts.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700 with the B06-SAU63X700
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU63X700 drop-in equivalent. Verify your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 thread, and SC-series mounting hardware (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) remain compatible. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot support sensing; if you need position detection on the SAU, add the -S suffix and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing alternatives, a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push @0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. A standard cylinder drifts without air and the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads. At 700 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally. If valve integration is needed, explore the SAUF variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X700
- ✓ 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-SU63X700 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X700 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X700. It matches the 63 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 1559 N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SU63X700.
It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 318 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU replacement supports sensing via CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you order the -S version.
