This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X200 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-SUD32X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X200 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-dedicated variant of the base SUD32X200, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, push and pull force are equal both ways at 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X200, retaining the 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting.
The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to drive a second tool simultaneously. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 207 N (about 60% of the 345 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. This SKU has no -S suffix and cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the 21 mm adjustable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads. The SAUD upgrade switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B used here.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Aligns and pushes prismatic battery cells into modules with equal both-ways force, utilizing the back rod to synchronize a parallel clamping mechanism during electrolyte filling.
Tab Welding Feed
Drives dual welding heads from both rod ends to form consistent tabs on battery packs, relying on the compact profile barrel to fit within dense assembly fixtures.
Module Transfer
Transfers battery modules across conveyor lines using anti-rotation stability, ensuring parts remain perfectly oriented without drifting during the 200mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200 with the B06-SAUD32X200
To replace this discontinued cylinder, swap it directly with the SAUD32X200, which matches the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify your force requirements against the equal both-ways output of 345 N @0.5 MPa, or step up to the neighboring 40mm bore if higher force is needed. Choose a double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools from one piston. For the SAUD upgrade, note the sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Since this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a magnetic switch. For strokes of 300mm or longer, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X200
- ✓ 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-SUD32X200 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X200 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X200. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X200, so the SAUD32X200 matches it mechanically with the same bore, stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD also upgrades to 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 safe working load is approximately 207 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of about 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss, so an external rod lock is required for holding.
