This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X25 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-SUD32X25
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X25, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X25 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD32X25 with a 32mm bore and 25mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are equal at 345N @0.5 MPa. This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X25, sharing the same 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounts. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
This compact profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The dual rods prevent rotation and let one end drive a tool while the back rod carries a sensor cam. With a 345N @0.5 MPa rating, the safe working load is roughly 207N, allowing a vertical lift of about 18kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 21mm cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD32X25 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAUD32X25 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-SUD32X25 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise cell stacking and pressing operations in module assembly without rotational drift.
Tab Handling & Transfer
Dual rods allow one end to push a part while the opposite rod simultaneously retracts a cam, synchronizing tab handling.
Pack Alignment
The compact 32mm profile barrel fits tight battery pack machinery, guiding components with high lateral stability.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25 with the B06-SAUD32X25
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD32X25, order the drop-in SAUD32X25, which preserves the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing, verify force both ways: this 32mm bore yields 345N @0.5 MPa, so step up to the 40mm bore (528N) or down to a smaller size as your payload dictates. A double-rod cylinder is correct when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot support sensing; the SAUD replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For strokes >=300mm, verify the side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Never rely on air cushions to hold loads without live air.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X25
- ✓ 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-SUD32X25 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X25 is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X25. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X25, which matches the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 345N @0.5 MPa, 483N @0.7 MPa, and 621N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/8". The safe working load is approximately 207N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 18kg with a 2:1 margin.
