This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X200S 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-SUD100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X200S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X200S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X200S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD100X200S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, 6626 N at 0.9 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This model is discontinued and the drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200S, retaining the 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can carry a sensor cam, it is ideal for driving two tools or stacking tasks in cell and pack assembly. The bore uses a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, and a 29mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The built-in magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors). For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2209 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and vertical lift is about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X200S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation from the double rod keep prismatic cell stacking precise and balanced during pack assembly.
Module Transfer
Drives two tools simultaneously from one compact profile body, moving battery modules between welding and handling stations.
Tab Welding Press
The 1/2" port and 25mm rod deliver stable 3681 N clamping at 0.5 MPa for battery tab welding without rotational drift.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X200S with the B06-SAUD100X200S
To replace this discontinued B06-SUD100X200S, order the SAUD100X200S. It is a drop-in match for bore, stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force needs against the equal push/pull values (3681 N at 0.5 MPa) and check the 80mm and 100mm bores. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. If your SUD has a magnet (-S), note the sensor change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For strokes of 300mm or longer, confirm the side-load limits of your guide bearings.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X200S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X200S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X200S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X200S. It keeps the same 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only and does not change physical specs.
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/2". It uses a 25mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread and a 29mm adjustable cushion at each end.
