This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X175S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X175S 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-SUD32X175S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X175S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X175S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X175S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X175S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X175S, mechanically identical with a 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. This discontinued profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X175S, retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can carry a sensor cam, it is ideal for battery cell stacking. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors on this model are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAUD. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 207 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required to hold loads on air loss.

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-SUD32X175S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways 345 N force and inherent anti-rotation from the double-rod design keep prismatic battery cells perfectly aligned during precision stacking operations.
Module Transfer Handling
The rear extension rod drives a secondary mechanism or sensor cam while the front rod pushes battery modules, maximizing cycle efficiency on the assembly line.
Tab Welding Press
Provides a stable 18 kg vertical clamping force with a 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa, ensuring consistent contact for battery tab welding without rotational drift.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X175S with the B06-SAUD32X175S
To replace the B06-SUD32X175S, order the SAUD32X175S drop-in, which matches the 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. If you need more force, the neighboring 40 mm bore provides 528 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need equal both-ways force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to drive a second tool. For the -S magnet option, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. At 175 mm stroke, ensure the side-load moment is within bearing limits, and use an external rod lock for any load-holding requirement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X175S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X175S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X175S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X175S, which shares the identical 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix simply denotes it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X175S.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are 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 size is 1/8". The safe working load is approximately 207 N, allowing an 18 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
