This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X700S 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-SUD100X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700S 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-SAUD100X700S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X700S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X700S, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X700S, keeping the same 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because force is equal both ways, the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously while preventing rotation. The built-in piston magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, whereas the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For buyers sizing components, the safe working load is roughly 2209 N (about 60% of the 3681 N @0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 29mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force drives cell stacking and pressing mechanisms in battery module assembly, using the dual rods to prevent platen rotation.
Pack Handling Transfer
Transfers battery packs along conveyor lines, using the second rod to mount a sensor cam for precise position feedback.
Tab Welding Press
Applies consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding, with the 1/2 inch port providing high flow for rapid cycling.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X700S with the B06-SAUD100X700S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X700S, order the drop-in SAUD100X700S, which matches the 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, 1/2" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force at neighbouring bores if a smaller footprint is needed, but remember this 100mm bore delivers equal both ways force of 3681 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for a sensor cam, or dual-tool driving. For the -S magnet option, change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. With a 700mm stroke, external guides are recommended to manage side-load and rod-bending forces.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X700S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X700S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X700S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X700S, which shares the same 100mm bore, 700mm stroke, equal both ways force, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is roughly 2209 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin.
