This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD32X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD32X75S 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-SUD32X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75S 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-SAUD32X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75S
The AirTAC B06-SUD32X75S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SUD32X75S, mechanically identical to the standard model. Because a piston rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum barrel, the push and pull forces are equal at 345 N (@0.5 MPa), 483 N (@0.7 MPa), and 621 N (@0.9 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X75S, which preserves the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
The dual-rod architecture prevents piston rotation and allows the back rod to drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam. With a 345 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is roughly 207 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This discontinued SUD used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAUD successor upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Note that the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding without live air.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Aligns and pushes prismatic battery cells into modules with equal both-ways force, using the anti-rotation properties of the double rod to maintain precise stacking alignment.
Module Transfer Handling
Transfers battery modules along the assembly line, utilizing the back rod to synchronize a secondary gripper or sensor cam without requiring a second cylinder.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping pressure for battery tab welding operations, where the compact 32 mm profile barrel saves space in dense manufacturing fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD32X75S with the B06-SAUD32X75S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD32X75S, select the SAUD32X75S, which offers identical equal-both-ways force, a 12 mm rod, M10x1.25 thread, and 1/8" port. If sizing both ways, the neighboring bores are 40 mm (up) and 32 mm (down, same bore), allowing you to match the 345 N @0.5 MPa output exactly or step up for higher margins. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation stability or synchronized two-tool driving is required. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB styles (SC-series compatible only). For the -S magnet option, upgrade from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide bushing wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD32X75S
- ✓ 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-SUD32X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD32X75S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD32X75S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD32X75S, and the SAUD successor retains the exact same 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways: 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/8" (PT thread). The safe working load is approximately 207 N at 0.5 MPa, allowing a vertical lift of about 18 kg with a 2:1 margin.
