This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X75 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-SUD100X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X75 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the rod exits both ends, ensuring force is equal both ways at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X75, mechanically identical to the base model. It features a 100mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/2" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. This discontinued cylinder is fully replaced by the SAUD100X75.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, push and pull forces are identical. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. A computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~2209 N (about 60% of the 3681 N @0.5 MPa figure), with a vertical lift capacity of ~188 kg at a 2:1 margin. The back rod can drive two tools simultaneously or carry a sensor cam for anti-rotation, though this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD100X75 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-SAUD100X75 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.

Legacy SU-family variants: SUD (double rod), SUJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAU equivalent (SUD→SAUD, SUJ→SAUJ). The current SAU line adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways force precisely presses and separates lithium-ion cell layers during module stacking without rotational drift.
Tab Welding Clamp
The rear rod drives a secondary alignment tool while the front rod clamps battery tabs for laser welding operations.
Pack Handling Transfer
Anti-rotation stability from the double-rod design securely transfers heavy battery packs between conveyor lines.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75 with the B06-SAUD100X75
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X75, drop in the SAUD100X75—bore, stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting are unchanged. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores while confirming equal force both ways. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or to drive two tools. If upgrading to SAUD with a -S sensor, note the change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For stroke >=300, verify side-load line limits. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X75
- ✓ 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-SUD100X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X75, which shares the same 100mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the SUD100X75.
The 1/2" port cylinder delivers equal force both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, and a 29mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold loads on air loss.
