This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X150S 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-SUD32X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150S 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-SAUD32X150S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X150S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder, where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X150S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X150S, retaining the 32mm bore, 150mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used here.
With a 12mm rod and M10x1.25 thread, force is 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The equal-both-ways design prevents rod rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam. Based on the 345 N @0.5 MPa figure, the safe working load is ~207 N (60%), yielding a ~18 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 21mm cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD32X150S 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-SAUD32X150S 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-SUD32X150S Is Used
Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking jigs in battery cell assembly, using the equal both ways force to maintain consistent pressure on delicate prismatic cells.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along the line; the double-rod design prevents rotation during transit, ensuring modules seat perfectly in testing fixtures.
Tab Welding
Positions battery tabs for laser welding, where the back rod carries a sensor cam to confirm exact placement before the weld cycle begins.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X150S with the B06-SAUD32X150S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD32X150S, order the drop-in SAUD32X150S, which matches the 32mm bore, 150mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores to ensure the equal-both-ways force fits your needs. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or to drive two tools. For the -S magnet, change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For stroke >=300, verify side-load line limits.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X150S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X150S is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X150S, mechanically identical to it. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X150S, which matches the 32mm bore, 150mm stroke, and 1/8" port.
Because the rod exits both ends, force is equal both ways: 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The safe working load is ~207 N (about 18 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin). Speed is 30-800 mm/s, operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a 21mm adjustable cushion.
