This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD50X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD50X75 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-SUD50X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD50X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X75
The AirTAC B06-SUD50X75 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD50X75. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 50mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 21mm adjustable cushions.
As a drop-in replacement, use the SAUD50X75. It shares the same profile body, bore, stroke, equal force, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B) and offers an SAUF built-in-valve variant. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation and drives two tools simultaneously. Based on the 825 N @0.5 MPa force, the safe working load is ~495 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~42 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD50X75 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD50X75 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.

| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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-SUD50X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal-both-ways force and anti-rotation keep prismatic battery cell stacking precise during vertical pressing and return.
Module Transfer
The double rod drives two synchronized pushers to move battery modules between conveyor belts without twisting.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding, using the back rod to carry a cam for repeatable positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X75 with the B06-SAUD50X75
To replace the B06-SUD50X75, drop in the SAUD50X75 directly; bore, stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounts are unchanged. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores to ensure the equal push/pull force fits your load. Choose a double rod when you need anti-rotation or to drive two tools from one piston. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors; if upgrading to SAUD with -S, use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes >=300, verify side-load limits. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss and cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD50X75
- ✓ 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-SUD50X75 FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD50X75. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD50X75, which shares the same 50mm bore, 75mm stroke, equal force, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 50mm, the port is 1/4", and the rod thread is M16x1.5. The safe working load is ~495 N, allowing a ~42 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
