This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD40X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD40X75S 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-SUD40X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD40X75S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD40X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD40X75S
The B06-SUD40X75S is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod profile cylinder; the B06- prefix marks this 40mm bore, 75mm stroke unit as mechanically identical to the standard SUD40X75S. As a double-acting design with a rod exiting both ends, push and pull force are equal at 528N, 739N and 950N at 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD40X75S, retaining the 1/4 inch port, M12x1.25 rod thread and 21mm cushions.
The dual-rod architecture prevents piston rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, though the SAUD replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Based on the 528N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is about 317N and the vertical lift capacity is roughly 27kg with a 2:1 margin. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required to hold loads on air loss.

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-SAUD40X75S 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.

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-SUD40X75S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both ways clamping for lithium cell stacking, using the dual rods to prevent rotation during electrode compression.
Module Handling Transfer
Drives two opposing pickers on a battery module assembly line, utilizing the equal push and pull force to move packs smoothly.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs securely for welding, with the back rod carrying a sensor cam to confirm clamp position before the weld cycle.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD40X75S with the B06-SAUD40X75S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD40X75S, order the SAUD40X75S drop-in: it matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, equal both ways force, 1/4 inch port and FA/LB mounting. When sizing, verify equal force in both directions and check neighbouring bores (32mm or 50mm) if your payload changes. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or must drive two tools. If your unit has the -S magnet, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes of 300mm or longer, calculate the side-load moment to protect the guide bearings.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD40X75S
- ✓ 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-SUD40X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD40X75S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD40X75S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD40X75S, which shares the same 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/4 inch port and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 528N at 0.5 MPa, 739N at 0.7 MPa, and 950N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/4 inch. The safe working load is about 317N at 0.5 MPa.
