This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X300 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-SUD32X300
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X300, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X300 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X300, mechanically identical in every spec. 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 aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X300, retaining the 32mm bore, 300mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can drive a second tool simultaneously, it is highly effective for compact battery cell stacking and handling. At 0.5 MPa the safe working load is roughly 207 N (60% of force), allowing a vertical lift of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot take a sensor; the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors while this discontinued model used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. 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 | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD32X300 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-SUD32X300 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and dual rods prevent rotation during precise lithium cell stacking and alignment in module assembly.
Tab Handling Transfer
The back rod can drive a secondary mechanism or sensor cam, synchronizing equipment during battery tab handling and welding.
Pack Alignment Pusher
Compact profile body fits tight battery pack assembly lines, pushing and pulling carriers with identical 345 N force at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300 with the B06-SAUD32X300
To replace this discontinued cylinder, specify the SAUD32X300, which is a true drop-in retaining the 32mm bore, 300mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal-both-ways force fits your needs: the 32mm bore yields 345 N at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 40mm bore yields 528 N. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one body. For this 300mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, upgrading to the SAUD allows fitting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (replacing legacy CS1-B/DS1-B). For any load-holding requirement, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as air cushions only decelerate and cannot hold position.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X300
- ✓ 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-SUD32X300 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X300 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD32X300) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X300, which shares the same 32mm bore, 300mm stroke, equal both-ways force, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
The 32mm bore features a 1/8" port and delivers force equal both ways: 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 483 N at 0.7 MPa, and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 12mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread and adjustable 21mm cushions at each end.
