This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X25S 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-SUD32X25S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25S 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-SAUD32X25S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X25S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X25S, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push and pull force are equal (345 N at 0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32 mm bore, which uses a 1/8" port and M10x1.25 rod thread. This design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
This SUD series is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X25S, which retains the same bore, stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant. For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of about 207 N (60% of the 345 N at 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25S Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Applies equal both ways push and pull force to precisely stack battery cells without rotational drift during the compression and alignment process.
Module Transfer Handling
Uses the dual-rod profile to drive two synchronized pucks or stops on a battery module assembly conveyor, ensuring parallel material transit.
Tab Welding Clamp
Clamps battery tabs for welding with a safe working load of 207 N, utilizing the back rod to mount a sensor cam for exact position confirmation.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X25S with the B06-SAUD32X25S
To replace the B06-SUD32X25S, use the drop-in SAUD32X25S, keeping the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting identical. Because force is equal both ways, size it by checking the 345 N at 0.5 MPa rating against your load, and step up to the 40 mm bore if higher force is needed. A double rod is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools simultaneously. When migrating the -S magnet, change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors used on the SAUD. For this 25 mm stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but for any stroke over 300 mm, ensure guide loads to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X25S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X25S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X25S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X25S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X25S, which is mechanically identical in bore, stroke, force, and 1/8" port, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
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. It cannot hold a load on air loss as the cushion only decelerates near stroke end; for vertical holding you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
