This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X75S 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-SU63X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X75S 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-SAU63X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X75S
The B06-SU63X75S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The leading B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X75S, mechanically identical to the base model. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU63X75S, a true drop-in replacement retaining the same 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, it fits battery cell handling and stacking tasks perfectly.
The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S SKU. The extruded aluminum body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 79 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X75S 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-SAU63X75S 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.

| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -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-SU63X75S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press prismatic battery cells during module stacking, utilizing the 75mm stroke for compact machine integration.
Module Transfer
Handles the horizontal repositioning of battery modules on assembly lines, taking advantage of the shorter profile body to fit within dense conveyor layouts.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides consistent clamping force for battery tab welding operations, ensuring electrical contact while the 3/8" port delivers rapid actuation at 30-800 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X75S with the B06-SAU63X75S
To replace this discontinued B06-SU63X75S, order the SAU63X75S. Confirm the 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and your SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your sensors: the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not fit the SAU, requiring current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG equivalents. If your battery line needs self-switching, the SAU family offers the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve, which the SU line lacked. Sizing both ways: a 50mm bore provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80mm bore yields 2513 N. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; add a pilot-operated check valve for vertical battery stack holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X75S
- ✓ 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-SU63X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X75S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X75S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X75S. It matches the 63mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting accessories exactly, so it fits the same battery assembly lines.
The bore 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 is an -S magnet model, the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The air cushion is 21 mm at both ends.
