This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X800 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X800 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-SU63X800
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 800mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU63X800, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800
The AirTAC B06-SU63X800 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type standard cylinder. The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X800, mechanically identical to the base model with a 63mm bore, 800mm stroke, and 1559N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the SU line with the SAU family; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X800, matching the bore, stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is needed on the replacement, the SAU uses modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches (the legacy SU used CS1-B/DS1-B). The SAU also adds a SAUF valve-integrated option the SU lacked. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 935N (60% of the 1559N push force), equating to a 79kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that an 800mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU63X800 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-SAU63X800 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-SU63X800 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 1559N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press battery cell layers during automated stacking operations.
Module Transfer
Drives the 800mm stroke to shift battery modules between assembly stations, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
Pack Handling
Moves heavy battery packs along the line, utilizing the 79kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 safety margin.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800 with the B06-SAU63X800
To replace this B06-SU63X800, order the SAU63X800 drop-in equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; if your battery line requires position detection, specify an SAU-S model and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For sizing alternatives, a 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80mm bore yields 2513N. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. At 800mm, side-load risks are high—ensure external guides to prevent rod bending. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve if faster cycling is needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU63X800
- ✓ 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-SU63X800 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X800 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X800) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU63X800, which matches the 63mm bore, 800mm stroke, 1559N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 318kgf max at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor. The SAU replacement with a magnet uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
