This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU63X800S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU63X800S 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-SU63X800S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800S 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-SAU63X800S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800S
The AirTAC B06-SU63X800S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery manufacturing lines. The "B06-" prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SU63X800S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. It delivers a push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 79 kg with a 2:1 margin. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X800S, matching the 63 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting.
During the upgrade, the body, bore, stroke, and force remain unchanged, but the SAU replacement transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S SKU. The SAU line also introduces a SAUF variant featuring a built-in 4M solenoid valve for self-switching, an option the original SU series never offered. Because this is an 800 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads.

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-SAU63X800S 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-SU63X800S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in lithium battery cell production, utilizing the 1559 N push force to press and align delicate cell layers accurately over the 800 mm travel.
Module Pack Handling
Transfers heavy battery modules along assembly conveyors, where the 3/8" port and 30-800 mm/s speed range ensure rapid, stable positioning of packs during automated welding.
Tabbing & Sorting
Actuates tabbing and sorting stations in battery module lines, providing the robust 79 kg vertical lift capacity needed to raise and lower electrode materials reliably.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800S with the B06-SAU63X800S
To replace this discontinued battery-dedicated cylinder, order the SAU63X800S. Confirm the 63 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, 3/8" port (default PT thread), M16x1.5 rod thread, and your SC-series mounting accessories. Since this SKU includes a magnet (-S), note that the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If sizing a new application, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; sizing down to a 50 mm bore drops push to 982 N, while sizing up to an 80 mm bore increases it to 2513 N. For the 800 mm stroke, use external guides to manage side loads and prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air—the cushions only decelerate—so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical load holding. The SAUF built-in-valve variant is available if self-switching is needed.
Replacement checklist

- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB)
- ✓ Need a built-in valve? → SAUF
Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU63X800S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU63X800S (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU63X800S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU63X800S. It offers identical bore, stroke, force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting compatibility, meaning it fits the same application directly.
This 63 mm bore cylinder 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 a -S magnet SKU, note that the SAU replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
