This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD50X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD50X75S 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-SUD50X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X75S 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-SAUD50X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X75S
The AirTAC B06-SUD50X75S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD50X75S. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features an extruded aluminum profile barrel and a rod exiting both ends on a single piston. This configuration ensures push and pull force are equal both ways, delivering 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore is 50 mm, the piston rod is Ø20 mm, and the air port is 1/4". This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD50X75S.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for synchronized tracking. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the 825 N force at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 495 N, capable of a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

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-SAUD50X75S 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-SUD50X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision stacking and pressing fixtures in battery cell assembly without rotational drift.
Module Tabbing Transfer
The dual-rod profile provides stable horizontal transfer of battery modules during tab welding and handling.
Pack Alignment
Anti-rotation stability ensures accurate alignment and clamping of battery packs during final enclosure operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD50X75S with the B06-SAUD50X75S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD50X75S, install the drop-in SAUD50X75S, which matches the 50 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, compare neighboring bores to ensure the equal-both-ways force fits your load, and swap the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-tool driving. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify the side-load line to prevent guide wear. Remember, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD50X75S
- ✓ 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-SUD50X75S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD50X75S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD50X75S, which shares the same 50 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, equal both-ways force, and FA/LB mounting. You only need to upgrade the sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The double-rod design ensures force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The 50 mm bore features a 1/4" air port, a Ø20 mm piston rod, and an M16x1.5 rod-end thread. The safe working load is approximately 495 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 42 kg with a 2:1 margin.
