This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X125S 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-SUD100X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X125S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X125S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X125S
The B06-SUD100X125S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X125S. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features an extruded aluminum profile barrel and a rod exiting both ends on a single piston. This configuration yields equal push and pull force (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) because both faces use the rod-side area. It has a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable cushions.
This discontinued cylinder is replaced drop-in by the SAUD100X125S, which retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy model uses CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam. For buyers, the safe working load is about 2209 N (60 percent of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 188 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAUD100X125S 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.

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-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X125S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly lines, using equal both-ways force to compress electrode layers without rotational drift.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules between conveyor belts, using the dual rods to carry a secondary gripper or cam for synchronized indexing.
Pack Assembly Press
Applies consistent clamping pressure during battery pack assembly, relying on the 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa for stable positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X125S with the B06-SAUD100X125S
To replace the B06-SUD100X125S, install the drop-in SAUD100X125S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force fits your load: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, or 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 80 mm bore (2268 N at 0.5 MPa); if you need more, confirm a larger custom solution. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation, to drive two tools, or to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. Because this unit has the -S magnet, swap the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent guide wear. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; use an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X125S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X125S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X125S (AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X125S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X125S. It matches the 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, equal both-ways force, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, push and pull forces are equal: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a 1/2 inch port. The safe working load is about 2209 N, allowing a 188 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads without live air; use an external rod lock.
