This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X350S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X350S 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-SUD100X350S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350S 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-SAUD100X350S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350S
The B06-SUD100X350S is a discontinued AirTAC double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD100X350S. A rod exits both ends of the single 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, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The 100 mm bore uses a 1/2 inch air port, a Ø25 mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. As a drop-in replacement, the SAUD100X350S preserves the exact body, stroke, force, port, and 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 battery module handling. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, the computed safe working load is about 2209 N (60% of the 3681 N at 0.5 MPa), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold loads on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for vertical holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation stability from the double-rod design ensure precise alignment when pressing and stacking battery cells in module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
The rear rod can carry a sensor cam while the front rod drives a tool, synchronizing the transfer of battery packs along manufacturing conveyors without torsional deflection.
Tab Welding Press
Provides a safe working load of about 2209 N for holding battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, with adjustable 29 mm cushions decelerating the press at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X350S with the B06-SAUD100X350S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X350S, drop in the SAUD100X350S, which matches the 100 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. If sizing both ways, the 80 mm neighbour offers less force while the 100 mm is the largest standard profile option here, so verify your equal-both-ways force needs. 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 -S magnet option, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. With the 350 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X350S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X350S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X350S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X350S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X350S, which is mechanically identical in bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting. The only upgrade is that the SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways and never quotes a larger single-rod push value. It delivers 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. The 100 mm bore dictates a 1/2 inch air port, a Ø25 mm rod, an M20x1.5 thread, and a 29 mm cushion. The safe working load is about 2209 N, allowing a 188 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
