This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X150 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-SUD32X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X150, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X150 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X150, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (345 N at 0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32 mm bore. This SUD series is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X150, retaining the 1/8" port, 150 mm stroke and FA/LB mounting.
Because the rear rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam without affecting the main stroke, double-rod designs excel in battery cell stacking and tabbing. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 207 N (60% of the 345 N at 0.5 MPa figure) and the vertical lift capacity is about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a magnetic switch; the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors where the SUD used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss—the 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is needed for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation stability from the double-rod design provide precise, balanced pressure for stacking battery cells in module assembly.
Dual-Tool Tabbing Transfer
The rear exiting rod drives a secondary mechanism or sensor cam, allowing synchronous dual-tool handling for battery tab welding and processing without extra cylinders.
Pack Handling Conveyor
Compact 32 mm profile barrel fits tight battery pack assembly lines, delivering 345 N at 0.5 MPa to push and pull battery packs with identical force in both directions.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150 with the B06-SAUD32X150
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD32X150, specify the SAUD32X150 (insert an A after the leading S) which is a drop-in match for bore, stroke, 1/8" port and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal-both-ways force fits your needs: the 32 mm bore yields 345 N at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 40 mm bore yields 528 N. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously from one piston. If upgrading to SAUD and adding sensors, note the switch from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For this 150 mm stroke (which is under 300 mm), side-load bending moments are minimal, but always guide the load externally on longer strokes.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X150
- ✓ 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-SUD32X150 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X150 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X150. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X150; mechanically, the SAUD32X150 matches the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/8" port and FA/LB mounting exactly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/8" (PT thread). The safe working load is approximately 207 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding an 18 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin.
