This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X125S 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-SUD32X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125S 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-SAUD32X125S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X125S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X125S, mechanically identical with a 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, and 1/8" port. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning push and pull force are equal both ways (345N at 0.5MPa). The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X125S, which retains the bore, stroke, and FA/LB mounting.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously with anti-rotation benefits. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors on this -S model are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 207N (60% of the 345N force at 0.5MPa), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 18kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, utilizing the equal both-ways force to push and pull cell layers without rotation.
Tab Welding Handling
Uses the rear exiting rod to carry a sensor cam for precise position feedback during battery tab welding and handling operations.
Module Transfer
Actuates dual-tool grippers on pack assembly conveyors, leveraging the compact profile body to fit within tight battery manufacturing machinery frames.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X125S with the B06-SAUD32X125S
To replace the B06-SUD32X125S, order the drop-in SAUD32X125S, which matches the 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, check the 345N equal force at 0.5MPa against neighbor bores to ensure your application fits within the safe working load of 207N. A double rod is right when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod for sensor cam placement. For the -S magnet option, change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For this 125mm stroke, side-load alignment is moderate, but for any stroke >=300mm, carefully support the rod to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X125S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X125S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X125S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X125S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X125S, so the SAUD matches the 32mm bore, 125mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting exactly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways and never quotes a larger single-rod push value. It delivers 345N at 0.5MPa, 483N at 0.7MPa, and 621N at 0.9MPa. The fixed port size for the 32mm bore is 1/8". The safe working load is approximately 207N at 0.5MPa.
