This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X450S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X450S 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-SUD32X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X450S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X450S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X450S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X450S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SUD32X450S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum profile barrel on a single piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal both ways (345 N at 0.5 MPa). It features a 1/8 inch port, a 12 mm rod, and a 450 mm stroke. As an end-of-life product, its exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X450S, which shares the same bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways at 483 N at 0.7 MPa and 621 N at 0.9 MPa. The back rod can carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAUD upgrade transitions to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For buyers sizing this cylinder, the safe working load is approximately 207 N (about 60 percent of the 345 N figure at 0.5 MPa), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 18 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads 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-SUD32X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in lithium battery cell assembly, using the equal both-ways force to press and separate layers without rotational drift.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along the production line, utilizing the dual rods to carry a sensor cam on the back stroke while pushing parts with the front.
Tab Welding Press
Applies clamping pressure for battery tab welding, where the compact profile body saves space and the double-acting action provides consistent retraction.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X450S with the B06-SAUD32X450S
To replace this discontinued model, swap it directly with the SAUD32X450S, matching the 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 1/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal-both-ways force fits your load: this 32 mm bore delivers 345 N at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 40 mm bore provides 528 N. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. For the 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for position sensing; when migrating to the SAUD, replace legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches with current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X450S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X450S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X450S is discontinued. The B06- prefix denotes the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X450S, and it is mechanically identical. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X450S, which preserves the 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, equal force, and FA/LB mounting.
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. The air port is 1/8 inch. The safe working load is roughly 207 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin.
