This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD50X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD50X200 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-SUD50X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD50X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X200
The B06-SUD50X200 is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the AirTAC SUD50X200 double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its application in cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering the core mechanics. As a double-acting double-rod cylinder, a rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull forces are equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 50mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/4" port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD50X200.
Because the rear rod can drive a second tool or act as an anti-rotation guide, double-rod designs are highly stable. From the 825 N @0.5 MPa force, the computed safe working load is ~495 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAUD50X200 successor retains the identical profile body, bore, stroke, equal force, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades sensing to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this legacy SUD used CS1-B/DS1-B). Note this SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X200 Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, stable stacking of battery cells in module assembly, preventing misalignment.
Pack Line Handling
Drives dual-tool pick-and-place mechanisms for battery pack routing, leveraging the double-rod's inherent anti-rotation properties.
Tabbing and Welding
Provides consistent 825 N @0.5 MPa clamping for battery tab welding operations, ensuring stable electrical contact.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X200 with the B06-SAUD50X200
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD50X200, specify the SAUD50X200. It is a true drop-in: same 50mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. If sizing both ways, the neighboring bores are 40mm and 63mm, but you must verify the equal-both-ways force fits your load. Choose a double-rod when you need anti-rotation stability or to drive two tools simultaneously. For sensing, the SAUD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this SUD used CS1-B/DS1-B. Since this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept sensors. For stroke lengths >=300mm, verify the side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Mounting is compatible with the AirTAC SC series only.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD50X200
- ✓ 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-SUD50X200 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD50X200 is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD50X200. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD50X200, which is mechanically identical with the same 50mm bore, 200mm stroke, equal force, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Force is equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 1/4". The computed safe working load is ~495 N, allowing a vertical lift of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin.
