This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X100 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-SUD80X100
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X100 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 100mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X100, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X100
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X100 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X100, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This SUD model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X100, retaining the 80mm bore, 100mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the rear rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam, double-rod designs excel in anti-rotation tasks on battery module assembly lines. The SAUD upgrade shifts sensing from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this non-magnetic SKU lacks the -S option and cannot take a switch). For buyers sizing payloads, the safe working load is approximately 1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), allowing a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 28 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD80X100 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-SUD80X100 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision stacking plungers in cell assembly, pushing and pulling battery layers with identical 2268 N force at 0.5 MPa.
Module Transfer Handling
The dual-rod anti-rotation特性 keeps battery modules flat during horizontal transfer between conveyor belts, preventing twist during high-speed shifts.
Pack Tab Welding Clamp
One piston rod operates the welding head while the opposite end simultaneously clamps the battery pack tab, synchronizing two operations in one compact profile body.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X100 with the B06-SAUD80X100
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X100, order the drop-in SAUD80X100, which matches the 80mm bore, 100mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify that the equal push/pull force of 2268 N at 0.5 MPa (3175 N at 0.7 MPa, 4082 N at 0.9 MPa) covers your load, or step to neighbouring bores (63mm or 100mm) to scale force symmetrically. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. If upgrading from a -S sensor model, note the switch from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For strokes of 300mm or longer, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent guide wear. Remember, air cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads without live air.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X100
- ✓ 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-SUD80X100 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X100 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X100. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X100, so the SAUD80X100 matches it exactly on 80mm bore, 100mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is 3/8" (PT thread). It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a 28 mm adjustable cushion at each end, but note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor.
