This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X300S 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-SUD32X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300S 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-SAUD32X300S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X300S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the leading B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X300S, mechanically identical in every spec. 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 aluminum profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and the back rod carries a sensor cam while driving two tools simultaneously with anti-rotation stability. It features a 12 mm rod, M10x1.25 rod thread, and a 1/8" port.
This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X300S, which retains the same bore, stroke, equal force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches (indicated by the -S magnet suffix). For sizing, the computed safe working load is approximately 207 N (60% of the 345 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force drives dual stacking plates in battery cell assembly, ensuring precise alignment without rotational drift.
Module Transfer Handling
The double-rod profile transfers battery modules between conveyors, using the back rod cam to trigger legacy CS1-B sensors for position confirmation.
Tab Welding Press
Applies a consistent 345 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for battery tab welding, with adjustable 21 mm cushions decelerating the press at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X300S with the B06-SAUD32X300S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD32X300S, use the drop-in SAUD32X300S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify that the 345 N @0.5 MPa force fits your load, or step up to the neighboring 40 mm bore if more force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one cylinder. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible only). The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present; you must change legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the SAUD. Because the stroke is 300 mm, account for side-load and rod-bending by using external guides to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X300S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X300S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD variant is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X300S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and equal force. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and changes no physical specs.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The fixed port size for the 32 mm bore is 1/8". The safe working load is approximately 207 N at 0.5 MPa, allowing a vertical lift of about 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
