This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X175S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X175S 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-SUD100X175S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X175S 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-SAUD100X175S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X175S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X175S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD100X175S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal (3681 N @0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This model is discontinued and replaced by the drop-in SAUD100X175S (same bore, stroke, force, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting). The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this SUD. The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~2209 N (60% of 3681 N @0.5 MPa), giving a vertical lift capacity of ~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-SAUD100X175S 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-SUD100X175S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise cell stacking and pressing in module assembly without rotational drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool pushers on a conveyor line to shift battery packs simultaneously from both ends.
Tab Welding Clamp
The double-rod design maintains parallel clamping on battery tabs, using the back rod to mount a sensor cam.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X175S with the B06-SAUD100X175S
To replace this discontinued cylinder, use the SAUD100X175S, which matches the 100mm bore, 175mm stroke, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. If sizing both ways, neighbouring bores (80mm or 63mm) offer less force, while 100mm remains the peak standard profile option here. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, equal both-ways force, or to drive two tools. The -S sensor changes from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For stroke >=300, verify side-load line limits.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X175S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X175S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X175S. The B06- prefix is an application designation only, so the SAUD matches the 100mm bore, 175mm stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting perfectly.
The 1/2" port cylinder delivers equal force both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. It does not hold loads without live air; the 29mm adjustable cushion only decelerates. Use an external rod lock for held loads.
