This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X200S 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-SUD32X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200S 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-SAUD32X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200S
The B06-SUD32X200S is a discontinued AirTAC double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD32X200S. 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 more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32 mm bore, and the 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable cushions remain unchanged.
As an end-of-life product, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X200S, which retains the same body, bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches) and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant. For sizing, the equal-both-ways 345 N force at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 207 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock 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-SUD32X200S Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Utilizes the equal both ways force and anti-rotation stability of the dual rods for precise, balanced pressing during prismatic cell stacking and alignment in battery module production.
Module Handling Transfer
Drives two synchronized tooling arms from a single cylinder to transfer battery modules between conveyor belts without requiring a second actuator.
Tab Welding Clamping
Applies a consistent clamping force for battery tab welding operations, using the back rod to mount a sensor cam for exact position verification.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X200S with the B06-SAUD32X200S
To replace the B06-SUD32X200S, order the SAUD32X200S (inserting an A after the leading S), which is a true drop-in swap retaining the 32 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal push/pull force fits your needs; if you need more force, step up to the 40 mm bore (528 N at 0.5 MPa), or drop to a smaller bore if less force is acceptable. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, want to drive two tools from one cylinder, or need the back rod to carry a sensor cam. Because this unit has the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For this 200 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300 mm, ensure your guide rails carry the load to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X200S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X200S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X200S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X200S, and it is mechanically identical to it. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X200S, which keeps the same bore, stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull force are equal both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The 32 mm bore dictates a 1/8" port size. The cylinder operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
