This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X350S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X350S 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-SUD32X350S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X350S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X350S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X350S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X350S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD32X350S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (345 N @0.5 MPa). It features a 32 mm bore, 1/8" port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and an extruded aluminium profile barrel shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. This discontinued model used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X350S, which preserves the bore, stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam. At 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is ~207 N (60% of force), allowing a vertical lift of ~18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

Legacy SU-family variants: SUD (double rod), SUJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAU equivalent (SUD→SAUD, SUJ→SAUJ). The current SAU line adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X350S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force and anti-rotation stability for precise cell stacking and alignment in module assembly lines.
Tab Handling Transfer
Drives two tools simultaneously from a single compact profile body to pick and place battery tabs efficiently.
Pack Case Loading
Uses the back rod to carry a sensor cam while pushing battery packs into cases with stable, equal force.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X350S with the B06-SAUD32X350S
To replace the B06-SUD32X350S, use the drop-in SAUD32X350S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal both ways force fits your needs: the 32 mm bore yields 345 N @0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 40 mm bore yields 528 N. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. If your SUD used -S sensors, migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Because the 350 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X350S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X350S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X350S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X350S, which shares the same 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAUD is mechanically identical.
The 32 mm bore features a 1/8" port and M10x1.25 rod thread. 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 safe working load is ~207 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding an 18 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
