This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X150 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-SUD100X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X150 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X150, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X150
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X150 is a double-acting profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X150, mechanically identical with a 100mm bore and 150mm stroke. A piston rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal at 3681N @0.5MPa, 5153N @0.7MPa, and 6626N @0.9MPa. This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X150, retaining the 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions.
Because the second rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam without eating into the working stroke, double-rod designs excel in battery stacking and tabbing. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is roughly 2209N (60% of the 3681N @0.5MPa figure), and vertical lift capacity is about 188kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot take a switch; the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.

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-SAUD100X150 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-SUD100X150 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force ensures precise, balanced pressure when pressing and indexing battery cells during module assembly.
Tab Welding Clamp
The twin rods drive the welding clamp while the opposite rod end carries a cam for perfectly timed sensor triggering.
Pack Handling Transfer
Anti-rotation properties from the double-rod profile keep battery packs oriented correctly during lateral transfer.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X150 with the B06-SAUD100X150
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X150, specify the SAUD100X150 drop-in: it matches the 100mm bore, 150mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking equal force at neighbouring bores (the 80mm bore yields 2268N @0.5MPa, the 100mm yields 3681N @0.5MPa). Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-tool driving. The SC-series mounting is compatible. If ordering the SAUD with the -S sensor option, note the switch change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For strokes >=300mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X150
- ✓ 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-SUD100X150 FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X150. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application; mechanically it is identical to the SUD100X150. The SAUD keeps the same bore, stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting.
Force is equal both ways: 3681N @0.5MPa, 5153N @0.7MPa, and 6626N @0.9MPa. The air port is 1/2 inch. Safe working load is approximately 2209N. Remember, air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.
