This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X125 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-SUD32X125
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X125, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X125 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder discontinued and directly replaced by the SAUD32X125. The B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X125, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, so push and pull force are equal both ways (345 N at 0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and the 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and 21 mm cushions are unchanged.
Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool while resisting rotation, double-rod designs suit battery stacking and handling. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch, but the SAUD upgrade accepts current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SUD used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B). Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~207 N (60% of 345 N), and vertical lift is ~18 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD32X125 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD32X125 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-SUD32X125 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways force and anti-rotation stability ensure precise, balanced pressure when stacking battery cells in module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
The rear rod can drive a second tool or cam, synchronizing the transfer of battery packs on a manufacturing line without adding a second cylinder.
Tab Welding Clamp
Compact profile body and 345 N equal force provide consistent clamping on battery tabs during welding operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125 with the B06-SAUD32X125
To replace B06-SUD32X125, order the drop-in SAUD32X125—same 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (40 mm offers 528 N at 0.5 MPa) to ensure equal-both-ways force fits your battery-line payload. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or to drive two tools. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a switch; the SAUD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load limits. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss—cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X125
- ✓ 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-SUD32X125 FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X125. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SUD32X125; the SAUD retains the same bore, stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Force is equal both ways at 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 32 mm with a 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions. Max standard stroke is 1000 mm, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it cannot hold a load on air loss.
