This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X1000 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X1000 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-SUD80X1000
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X1000, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X1000 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-line variant of the SUD80X1000, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning push and pull force are equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The 80mm bore uses a 3/8" port, a 25mm rod, and M20x1.5 threads. This SUD series is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X1000, which retains the same profile body, bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
The dual-rod design prevents rotation and allows driving two tools simultaneously, while the back rod can carry a sensor cam. Without a magnet (-S), this SKU cannot take a magnetic switch; the legacy SUD used CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, whereas the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Based on the 2268 N @0.5 MPa force, the computed safe working load is ~1361 N (60%), yielding a vertical lift capacity of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, 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 | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly lines, using the equal both-ways force to maintain consistent pressure on electrode layers.
Module Tab Welding
Dual-rod anti-rotation keeps welding fixtures perfectly aligned during tab joining, preventing deflection across the 1000mm stroke.
Pack Handling Transfer
Simultaneously drives two transfer arms on a battery pack conveyor, using the back rod to carry a mechanical cam for timing.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000 with the B06-SAUD80X1000
To replace the B06-SUD80X1000, use the drop-in SAUD80X1000, which matches the 80mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal force of 2268 N @0.5 MPa fits your load, or step to neighboring bores (63mm or 100mm) for different force requirements. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation or driving two tools is required. For the 1000mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. Note the sensor change from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG if upgrading. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support switches.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X1000
- ✓ 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-SUD80X1000 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X1000 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X1000. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X1000; mechanically, the SAUD80X1000 matches the 80mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting exactly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The air cushion decelerates the load near stroke end, but a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so an external rod lock is required for load holding.
