This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X600S 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-SUD100X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X600S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 600mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X600S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X600S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X600S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X600S, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends of the 100mm bore extruded aluminium profile barrel, meaning both faces use the rod-side area to deliver equal push and pull force of 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. It features a 25mm rod, 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable cushions.
As this SUD series is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X600S, which retains the same bore, stroke, force, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for dual-tool driving. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors on this -S magnet model are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. For sizing, the 3681N force at 0.5MPa yields a safe working load of about 2209N, allowing a vertical lift of roughly 188kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock 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-SAUD100X600S 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-SUD100X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise cell stacking and alignment in module assembly, using the dual rods to prevent rotation during pressing.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives opposing grippers to transfer battery packs along the line, utilizing the equal push and pull force to maintain synchronous handling.
Tab Welding Press
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding, where the back rod can carry a sensor cam to confirm press position without external mounts.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X600S with the B06-SAUD100X600S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X600S, select the drop-in SAUD100X600S, matching the 100mm bore, 600mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force against neighbouring bores; this 100mm bore delivers 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. For the -S magnet option, change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. Because the 600mm stroke is long, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X600S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X600S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X600S is discontinued. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X600S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X600S, which shares the same 100mm bore, 600mm stroke, equal force, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, and 6626N at 0.9MPa. The safe working load is about 2209N, allowing a 188kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
