This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X75 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-SUD32X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD32X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X75 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD32X75, mechanically identical in every specification. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32 mm bore, features a 1/8" port, and uses adjustable air cushions of 21 mm at each end.
This discontinued model is fully replaced by the drop-in SAUD32X75, which shares the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously. Without a magnetic piston (-S omitted), this SKU cannot accept magnetic switches. For sizing, the 345 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of roughly 207 N (60% factor) and a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75 Is Used
Cell Stacking Alignment
Uses the equal both-ways force and anti-rotation properties to precisely press and align battery cell layers during module stacking without rotational drift.
Tab Handling Transfer
Drives two synchronized tooling ends to grip and transfer battery tabs simultaneously on the conveyor line, maximizing throughput in confined spaces.
Module Pack Pressing
Applies a stable 345 N @0.5 MPa clamping force to secure battery module components during assembly, maintaining parallelism via the double-rod profile.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75 with the B06-SAUD32X75
To replace the B06-SUD32X75, use the drop-in SAUD32X75, which preserves the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify that the equal push/pull force of 345 N @0.5 MPa (483 N @0.7 MPa) is sufficient, or step up to the neighboring 40 mm bore if higher force is required. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two mechanisms from one piston. Because this SKU lacks a magnetic piston, it cannot use sensors; upgrading to the SAUD requires changing from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X75
- ✓ 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-SUD32X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X75. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X75, so the SAUD32X75 matches it exactly on bore, stroke, force, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
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 bore is 32 mm, the port is 1/8", the rod is Ø12 mm with an M10x1.25 thread, and it uses 21 mm adjustable cushions. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
