This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X225S 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-SUD32X225S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225S 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-SAUD32X225S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X225S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X225S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning 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 aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and adjustable air cushions.
Because this SUD model is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X225S, which retains the same bore, stroke, equal force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, though the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the computed safe working load is about 207 N (60% of the 345 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 18 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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-SUD32X225S Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal both-ways force to align and press battery cells during stacking, using the double-rod geometry to prevent rotational drift.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives two synchronized tooling arms on the conveyor line to transfer battery modules without torsional deflection.
Tab Welding Positioning
Uses the back rod to carry a sensor cam for precise positioning during battery tab welding operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X225S with the B06-SAUD32X225S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD32X225S, drop in the SAUD32X225S, which matches the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, 1/8" port, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify that neighbor bores provide sufficient force, noting this 32mm bore generates 345 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible only). The -S magnet indicates legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, which must change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. For this 225mm stroke, confirm side-load line limits. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X225S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X225S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X225S is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X225S, mechanically identical to it. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X225S, which matches the bore, stroke, 1/8" port, and force. You only need to upgrade the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG models.
Force is equal both ways: 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The computed 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 margin. The cylinder operates at 30-800 mm/s, but a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
