This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X225 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X225 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-SUD32X225
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X225, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X225 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder, where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant that is mechanically identical to the base SUD32X225. 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). It features a 32 mm bore, a 225 mm stroke, a 12 mm rod, and a 1/8 inch port. The drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X225, which retains the exact bore, stroke, force, and mounting.
Because the second rod can drive two tools simultaneously or carry a sensor cam while resisting rotation, double-rod designs excel in compact battery stacking and handling. Based on the 345 N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is roughly 207 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch; the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.

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-SAUD32X225 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force ensures precise, anti-rotation pressure when stacking prismatic battery cells into modules.
Tab Material Handling
The second rod drives a parallel transfer mechanism on the conveyor line, synchronizing tab feeding without extra cylinders.
Module Pack Indexing
Drives dual opposing clamps to seat battery packs accurately, using the compact profile body to save machine space.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225 with the B06-SAUD32X225
To replace the B06-SUD32X225, order the drop-in SAUD32X225, which matches the 32 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 1/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal both ways force fits your needs: this 32 mm bore provides 345 N at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 40 mm bore provides 528 N. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one body. For sensing, note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, whereas the SAUD requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Since the stroke is 225 mm (under 300 mm), side-load risks are minimal, but always guide the rod end. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X225
- ✓ 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-SUD32X225 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X225 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X225. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X225, and the SAUD matches it exactly on bore, stroke, force, and port.
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 port size is 1/8 inch. This yields a safe working load of 207 N and a vertical lift of 18 kg with a 2:1 margin.
