This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X75S 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-SUD100X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75S 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-SAUD100X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75S
The AirTAC B06-SUD100X75S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X75S, mechanically identical with a 100mm bore, 75mm stroke, and 1/2" port. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (3681N @0.5MPa). The drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X75S, sharing the same profile body, bore, stroke, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod drives a sensor cam or two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation, double-rod architecture is highly stable. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors on this -S magnet model are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD. For sizing, the 3681N @0.5MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 2209N (60% margin) and a vertical lift capacity of about 188kg with a 2:1 safety factor. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD100X75S 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-SAUD100X75S 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-SUD100X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision stacking plungers in cell assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on the upward and downward strokes without rotational drift.
Module Transfer Handling
The dual-rod design drives synchronized gripper carriages on both ends of the cylinder, moving battery modules smoothly between welding stations.
Pack Tab Welding Press
Provides stable, equal-force clamping for tab welding operations, utilizing the second rod to mount a sensor cam for precise position verification.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X75S with the B06-SAUD100X75S
To replace the B06-SUD100X75S, order the exact drop-in SAUD100X75S, which preserves the 100mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify your force requirements against the equal both-ways ratings of 3681N @0.5MPa, 5153N @0.7MPa, and 6626N @0.9MPa; if less force is needed, step down to the 80mm bore, or step up if higher margins are required. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. For the -S sensor option, upgrade from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For strokes >=300mm, confirm the side-load limits of your guide mechanism. Remember, cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X75S
- ✓ 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-SUD100X75S FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD100X75S, mechanically identical in every spec. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X75S, which matches the 100mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/2" port, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades the sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681N @0.5MPa, 5153N @0.7MPa, and 6626N @0.9MPa. The bore is 100mm with a 1/2" port, a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 29mm adjustable cushion at each end. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa with speeds of 30-800mm/s.
