This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD50X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD50X700 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-SUD50X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X700 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 700mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD50X700, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X700
The AirTAC B06-SUD50X700 is a double-acting profile cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD50X700, mechanically identical to the base model with a 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, and 1/4 inch port. This discontinued SUD line drops in directly to the SAUD50X700, matching bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is identical in both directions, preventing rod drift and providing anti-rotation stability for two-tool driving. The compact extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The safe working load is approximately 495 N (60 percent of the 825 N at 0.5 MPa figure), offering a vertical lift capacity of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.

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-SUD50X700 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly lines, using equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure on battery layers.
Module Handling
Transfers battery modules along conveyors, where the double-rod design prevents rotation and ensures stable part positioning during transit.
Pack Assembly Press
Actuates pressing stations in pack assembly, utilizing the back rod to simultaneously drive a secondary tool or sensor cam.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X700 with the B06-SAUD50X700
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD50X700, use the SAUD50X700 drop-in equivalent, which preserves the 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 1/4 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighbor bores like 40 mm or 63 mm. A double rod is right when you need equal both-ways force, anti-rotation, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Since this SKU lacks a magnet, the -S sensor change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG only applies if migrating to a magnetized SAUD. For this 700 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side-load.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD50X700
- ✓ 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-SUD50X700 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD50X700 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD50X700, which matches the 50 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 1/4 inch port, and equal both-ways force. The B06- prefix simply marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SUD50X700.
The B06-SUD50X700 features a 1/4 inch port and delivers equal force in both directions: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s and uses adjustable air cushions of 21 mm at each end.
