This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X225S 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-SUD100X225S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X225S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X225S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X225S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X225S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD100X225S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull forces are equal at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 100mm bore, 25mm rod, 1/2" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. This legacy model is discontinued, replaced by the SAUD100X225S.
The drop-in SAUD100X225S retains the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design prevents rotation and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for space-saving feedback. The original CS1-B/DS1-B sensors are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD. Using the 3681 N @0.5 MPa figure, the safe working load is about 2209 N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X225S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force precisely indexes and stacks battery cells during module assembly without rotational drift.
Dual-Tool Tab Welding
The twin rods drive opposing busbar tab welding fixtures simultaneously, keeping cycle times synchronized.
Pack Handling Transfer
Anti-rotation characteristics securely transfer battery packs between conveyor belts without needing external guides.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X225S with the B06-SAUD100X225S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X225S, use the SAUD100X225S, which matches the 100mm bore, 225mm stroke, 1/2" port, and equal-both-ways force. If sizing both ways, verify if neighboring bores like 80mm or 63mm meet your minimum force requirements, but the 100mm bore delivers 3681 N @0.5 MPa. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles (SC-series compatible only). Because this unit has the -S magnet, upgrade your switches from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For this 225mm stroke, side-load alignment is acceptable, but for any stroke >=300, ensure strict guide alignment to prevent seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X225S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X225S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X225S is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X225S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X225S, which matches the bore, stroke, force, and 1/2" port. You must only upgrade the sensors from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The safe working load is approximately 2209 N. The 100mm bore uses a 1/2" port, a 25mm rod, and an M20x1.5 rod thread. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed of 30-800 mm/s.
