This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X350 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X350 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-SUD100X350
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 350mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X350, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X350 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-line variant of the SUD100X350, mechanically identical with a 100mm bore, 350mm stroke, 1/2" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area. Push and pull force are equal at 3681N @0.5MPa, 5153N @0.7MPa, and 6626N @0.9MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X350, retaining the same profile body, bore, stroke, and SC-series FA/LB mounting.
Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool simultaneously, double-rod designs excel in anti-rotation and compact syncing tasks. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a magnetic switch, though the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Based on the 3681N @0.5MPa figure, the safe working load is about 2209N (60%), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 188kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Synchronizes dual pressing plates during prismatic cell stacking, utilizing the equal both-ways force to maintain precise, anti-rotation alignment.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives opposing clamps on a conveyor line to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations without rotational drift.
Pack Tab Welding
Simultaneously positions two welding electrodes via the extended rear rod, ensuring balanced contact pressure on battery pack tabs.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350 with the B06-SAUD100X350
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAUD100X350 drop-in. It matches the 100mm bore, 350mm stroke, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 thread, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing both ways, verify your force requirements against the equal both-ways figures (3681N @0.5MPa to 6626N @0.9MPa) and check neighboring bores if you need a different capacity. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a rear cam, or dual-tool driving. Since this SKU has no magnet, you cannot mount sensors; the SAUD upgrade supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For the 350mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X350
- ✓ 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-SUD100X350 FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X350. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing variant of the base SUD100X350, so the SAUD matches the 100mm bore, 350mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting perfectly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681N @0.5MPa, 5153N @0.7MPa, and 6626N @0.9MPa. The 100mm bore uses a 1/2" port. The safe working load is approximately 2209N, allowing a vertical lift of about 188kg with a 2:1 margin.
