This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X700S 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-SU63X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700S 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-SAU63X700S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X700S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X700S, mechanically identical to the standard profile-type extruded barrel design. It delivers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa through a 63 mm bore. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU63X700S, a true drop-in sharing the same 700 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
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 compact extruded body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. If you used the -S magnet with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU line also adds a SAUF built-in 4M solenoid 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 | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the extended 700 mm stacking mechanism for prismatic battery cells, providing 1559 N of smooth push force during module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
Moves heavy battery packs along the production conveyor over the 700 mm travel distance, utilizing adjustable cushions to decelerate loads safely.
Tab Welding Positioning
Acts as the extended-reach actuator for tab welding stations, accurately shifting battery modules into the weld fixture with a 935 N safe working load.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X700S with the B06-SAU63X700S
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU63X700S. Confirm the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, PT/G/NPT thread standard, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) match your battery line tooling. Because this is a 700 mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. If sizing neighbors, a 50 mm bore gives 982 N push while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushions only decelerate near stroke ends, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. For automated switching, the SAU drop-in uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the old CS1-B/DS1-B, or you can specify the SAUF valve-integrated variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X700S
- ✓ 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-SU63X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X700S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X700S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X700S. It shares the exact same 63 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories, so it fits the same battery line application without mechanical modifications.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. When upgrading to the SAU replacement, you must switch to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
