This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD100X800 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD100X800 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-SUD100X800
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X800 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 800mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD100X800, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X800
The B06-SUD100X800 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD100X800 double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix denotes an application designation only, so mechanically it matches the base SUD: a 100mm bore, 800mm stroke, extruded aluminium profile barrel with a rod exiting both ends. Because both faces use the rod-side area, push and pull force are equal both ways (3681N at 0.5MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X800, retaining the same 1/2 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting.
The double-rod design drives two tools simultaneously and prevents piston rotation. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2209N (60% of the 0.5MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 188kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a sensor; the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Air cushions (29mm) only decelerate near stroke end; use an external rod lock for load holding.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X800 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives dual-sided pressing platens in lithium cell assembly, utilizing the equal both ways force to maintain consistent stack pressure without piston rotation.
Module Transfer Handling
Indexes battery modules along the pack assembly line, with the second rod carrying a cam for precise mechanical synchronization during the 800mm travel.
Tab Welding Press
Applies equal clamping force during battery tab welding operations, driving two opposing tools simultaneously from a single compact profile body.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD100X800 with the B06-SAUD100X800
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD100X800, specify the SAUD100X800 drop-in: it matches the 100mm bore, 800mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both directions by checking neighbour bores, as force is equal both ways (3681N at 0.5MPa, 5153N at 0.7MPa, 6626N at 0.9MPa). Choose a double rod when driving two tools or needing anti-rotation. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take sensors; upgrading to the SAUD requires changing from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 800mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD100X800
- ✓ 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-SUD100X800 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD100X800 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD100X800. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SUD100X800. The SAUD keeps the same 100mm bore, 800mm stroke, 1/2 inch port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
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. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value. The 100mm bore dictates a 1/2 inch port (default PT thread), a 25mm rod, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29mm adjustable air cushions. The safe working load is about 2209N.
