This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X175 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-SUD100X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X175 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X175, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X175
The B06-SUD100X175 is a battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix denotes an industry-specific designation mechanically identical to the base SUD100X175. This discontinued double-acting unit features a 100mm bore, 175mm stroke, and a rod exiting both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal. It uses a 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable air cushions at each end. As a drop-in replacement, the SAUD100X175 matches the bore, stroke, 3681N force, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades sensing to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways: 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The double-rod design prevents rotation and allows driving two tools simultaneously. For sizing, the computed safe working load is approximately 2209N (60% of the 0.5MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 188kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, and the air cushion only decelerates; it does not hold loads on air loss.

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-SAUD100X175 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-SUD100X175 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both ways force for prismatic cell stacking, using the double rod to prevent rotation during electrode compression.
Module Handling Transfer
Drives two tools simultaneously on the battery pack assembly line, leveraging the 1/2 inch port for rapid actuation.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs securely for welding, with the 29mm adjustable cushion decelerating the 3681N force at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X175 with the B06-SAUD100X175
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X175, drop in the SAUD100X175, which preserves the 100mm bore, 175mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force against neighbouring bores: the 80mm bore yields 2268N while the 100mm bore yields 3681N at 0.5MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot take a switch; the SAUD upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For strokes >=300mm, check the side-load line to prevent guide failure. Finally, the cushion only decelerates; specify an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X175
- ✓ 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-SUD100X175 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X175 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X175, which shares the same 100mm bore, 175mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X175, and the SAUD is mechanically identical.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The bore dictates a 1/2 inch port. The safe working load is about 2209N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 188kg with a 2:1 margin.
