This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X700 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-SUD100X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 700mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X700, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X700 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X700, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal (3681 N at 0.5 MPa). It features a 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, 1/2" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. This SUD series is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X700, retaining the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can drive two tools simultaneously, it is highly effective for compact battery stacking and handling. The SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B. Note this non-magnetized SKU cannot take a switch. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2209 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 29mm cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD100X700 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAUD100X700 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-SUD100X700 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise pressing and stacking of battery cells during module assembly, using the dual rods to prevent platform rotation.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives two synchronized pushers from one piston to transfer battery packs along a conveyor, saving space compared to using two separate cylinders.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping pressure on both ends for battery tab welding operations, ensuring consistent electrical contacts without twist.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700 with the B06-SAUD100X700
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X700, drop in the SAUD100X700, which matches the 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force of 3681 N @0.5 MPa fits your load, or step to neighbor bores (80mm or 63mm) if lower force is acceptable. Choose a double-rod design when you need anti-rotation resistance or must drive two tools from one piston. Mounting is compatible with AirTAC SC series accessories only. Since this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot take sensors, but upgrading to the SAUD allows modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches (replacing legacy CS1-B/DS1-B). For this 700mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. For load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X700
- ✓ 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-SUD100X700 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X700 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD100X700) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X700, which matches the 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD also uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
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 air port is 1/2". The safe working load is roughly 2209 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin.
