This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X1000 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X1000 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-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X1000, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X1000 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder, where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X1000. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminium profile barrel, meaning push and pull forces are equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 100mm bore, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and lacks a magnet (-S) so it cannot take a magnetic switch. AirTAC recommends the exact drop-in replacement SAUD100X1000, which retains the same body, bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the back rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam without altering force. For buyers sizing this cylinder, the safe working load is roughly 2209 N (about 60% of the 3681 N @0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 29mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so an external rod lock is needed for held loads. At a 1000mm stroke, external guides are critical to prevent rod bending under side loads.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD100X1000 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-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives dual-sided pressing platens in cell stacking modules, utilizing the equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure during electrode assembly.
Module Transfer Handling
Employs the anti-rotation properties of the double-rod profile to push battery modules smoothly between conveyor belts without torsional deflection.
Pack Assembly Pressing
Synchronizes two tooling ends during battery pack alignment and pressing, ensuring parallel clamping across large format packs.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000 with the B06-SAUD100X1000
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X1000, select the SAUD100X1000 drop-in equivalent, matching the 100mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 1/2" port, and equal-both-ways force. If sizing both ways, verify neighbouring bores (80mm or 63mm) against your force requirements, keeping in mind the 100mm bore delivers 3681 N @0.5 MPa equally in both directions. Choose a double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously from one piston. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles (SC-series compatibility only). Because this SKU has no magnet, it cannot support sensing; upgrading to the SAU family allows the use of current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For this 1000mm long stroke, always incorporate external guides to mitigate rod-bending and side-load risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X1000
- ✓ 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-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X1000 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SUD100X1000) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X1000, sharing the same 100mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 1/2" port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAU replacement also supports current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant.
Force is equal both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The safe working load is ~2209 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~188 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 29mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.
