This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X300S 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-SUD100X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X300S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X300S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X300S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X300S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the leading B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD100X300S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push and pull force are equal. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 1/2 inch air port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable air cushions.
As this SUD model is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X300S, which retains the same bore, stroke, equal-both-ways force, port, and SC-series mounting compatibility. The SAU replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this discontinued unit used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. From a computed buyer insight, the 3681 N force at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of about 2209 N, allowing a vertical lift of approximately 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for held loads.

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-SAUD100X300S 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-SUD100X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force drives precision stacking presses in lithium cell manufacturing, using the back rod for a sensor cam.
Module Handling
Anti-rotation dual rods transfer battery modules between conveyor belts without guidance play during pack assembly.
Tab Welding Press
Drives two welding tools simultaneously from one piston, maintaining parallelism for battery tab bonding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X300S with the B06-SAUD100X300S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X300S, select the drop-in SAUD100X300S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. Because force is equal both ways, size both directions by checking neighbouring bores against the 3681 N at 0.5 MPa figure. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. For the 300 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for position sensing; when migrating, note the sensor change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X300S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X300S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X300S is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X300S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X300S, which is mechanically identical in bore, stroke, force, and port.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a 1/2 inch air port. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with 29 mm adjustable cushions.
