This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X25S 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-SUD100X25S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X25S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X25S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X25S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X25S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading "B06-" prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X25S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. Featuring a 100mm bore and 25mm stroke, a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. It uses a 1/2" port and M20x1.5 rod thread. This discontinued profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and provides anti-rotation stability, while the back rod can carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
As the SUD series is discontinued, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X25S, which shares the same bore, stroke, equal-both-ways force, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant. For sizing, the equal force yields a safe working load of roughly 2209 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force) and 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 29mm adjustable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X25S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation stacking of battery cells during module assembly, ensuring consistent alignment without rotational drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool mechanisms on conveyor lines to push and pull battery packs simultaneously, cutting cycle time by performing opposing actions in one stroke.
Tab Welding Press
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding with a back rod carrying a sensor cam, ensuring precise position verification before the welding head activates.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X25S with the B06-SAUD100X25S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X25S, use the drop-in SAUD100X25S, which matches the 100mm bore, 25mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force against neighboring bores (like the 80mm) to ensure the 3681 N @0.5 MPa capacity fits your system, utilizing the safe working load of 2209 N. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. For the -S magnet option, plan a sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For this 25mm stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but for any stroke >=300, ensure proper guidance. Remember, no load-holding without live air.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X25S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X25S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X25S (a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SUD100X25S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X25S, which matches the 100mm bore, 25mm stroke, equal both-ways force, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD also offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant the SU line lacked.
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 bore is 100mm with a 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 29mm adjustable air cushion. The safe working load is about 2209 N. Note that the cushion only decelerates; it does not hold loads on air loss.
