This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X1000S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X1000S 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-SUD100X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000S 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-SAUD100X1000S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X1000S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder discontinued and replaced by the drop-in SAUD100X1000S. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SUD100X1000S. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminium barrel, yielding equal push and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, 1/2" port, and 29 mm cushions. The second rod prevents rotation and can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam.
For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2209 N (60 percent of the 0.5 MPa force), giving a vertical lift capacity of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAUD replacement retains the FA/LB mounts but upgrades the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required to hold loads. For this 1000 mm stroke, external guides must support the rod to prevent bending under side loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD100X1000S 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-SUD100X1000S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses in battery cell assembly, using the equal both-ways force to press and retract electrodes without rotational drift.
Module Transfer
Indexes battery modules along conveyor lines, using the dual rods to carry a secondary cam for synchronous sensor tracking during handling.
Pack Tab Welding
Clamps battery pack tabs for welding operations, where the second rod provides anti-rotation stability to maintain electrode alignment.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X1000S with the B06-SAUD100X1000S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X1000S, use the drop-in SAUD100X1000S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both directions by checking the equal-both-ways force: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, or 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. If neighbouring bores are needed, the 80 mm bore provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, while no larger profile bore exists. Choose a double rod when anti-rotation or dual-tool driving is required. For the -S magnet, switch from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because the stroke is 1000 mm, external guides must support side loads to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X1000S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X1000S FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X1000S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X1000S, so all physical specs match. The SAUD keeps the same 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounts, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/2". The safe working load is about 2209 N, allowing a vertical lift of 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is needed to hold loads.
