This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X150S 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-SUD100X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X150S 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-SAUD100X150S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X150S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X150S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD100X150S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore. It features a 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable cushions.
This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X150S, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The dual-rod design prevents rotation and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 2209 N (60% of the 3681 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held 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-SAUD100X150S 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-SUD100X150S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly lines, using the equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure on battery layers without rotational drift.
Module Tabbing Transfer
Simultaneously positions two welding fixtures from opposite ends of the piston, leveraging the dual-rod architecture to synchronise tabbing operations in pack manufacturing.
Pack Handling Conveyor
Actuates diverters and lifting gates on battery pack conveyors, where the compact profile barrel saves space and the back rod operates a sensor cam for position feedback.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X150S with the B06-SAUD100X150S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X150S, drop in the SAUD100X150S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/2" port, and equal-both-ways force. Because force is identical in both directions, size it by checking neighbouring bores against your push and pull requirements. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible only). The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet; when upgrading, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors must change to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X150S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X150S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X150S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the standard SUD100X150S. The SAUD replacement keeps the same 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull force are equal both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a 1/2" port, the piston rod is 25 mm with an M20x1.5 thread, and it has 29 mm adjustable cushions at each end. The safe working load is roughly 2209 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin.
