This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X75 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-SU63X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X75
The AirTAC B06-SU63X75 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X75, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly tasks. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAU63X75 drop-in upgrade.
The SAU63X75 retains the exact 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The extruded aluminum profile is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder. A safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of [email protected]), lifting about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot take sensors, while the SAU upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches and offers a SAUF valve-integrated option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X75 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAU63X75 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-SU63X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 1559 N push force to align and press prismatic battery cells into modules during automated stacking processes.
Pack Line Handling
Transfers battery packs along assembly conveyors, utilizing the 75 mm stroke for short, rapid positioning movements.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs during laser welding, using the 3/8" port for rapid clamping cycles without load-holding drift.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X75 with the B06-SAU63X75
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU63X75 drop-in: it matches the 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, 3/8" port, and SC mounting. Because this B06-SU63X75 lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed on the new unit, specify SAU63X75S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N [email protected], while an 80 mm bore gives 2513 N; this 63 mm bore yields 1559 N. The cushion only decelerates the piston, so for load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The SAUF variant adds a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU line lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X75
- ✓ 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-SU63X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X75, which shares the identical 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix simply designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant.
This 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept magnetic sensors; the SAU replacement with a magnet (-S) uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
