This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD40X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD40X75 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-SUD40X75

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD40X75
The AirTAC B06-SUD40X75 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force is equal both ways (528 N at 0.5 MPa). The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD40X75, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. This discontinued unit features a 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/4" port, and M12x1.25 rod thread.
As a drop-in replacement, the SAUD40X75 matches the bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to drive a second tool. Based on the 528 N force, the safe working load is about 317 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 27 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors; the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD40X75 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD40X75 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD40X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise stacking of battery cells, utilizing the double-rod anti-rotation properties to maintain alignment.
Module Transfer
Transfers battery modules between conveyors where the back rod simultaneously actuates a secondary reject gate without adding extra valves.
Tab Welding Clamp
Clamps battery tabs for welding with a safe working load of 317 N, ensuring stable positioning without rotational deflection.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD40X75 with the B06-SAUD40X75
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD40X75, select the drop-in SAUD40X75, which preserves the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/4" port, and equal-both-ways force. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (32mm or 50mm) against your force requirements. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation or driving two tools is needed. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible). Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot hold a sensor; the SAUD upgrade supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes >=300, verify side-load limits. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD40X75
- ✓ 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-SUD40X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD40X75 (a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD40X75) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD40X75, which matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/4" port, and force. The SAUD also offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant and uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore is 40mm, the port is 1/4", and the rod thread is M12x1.25. The safe working load is about 317 N.
