This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X1000S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X1000S 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-SUD80X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000S 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-SAUD80X1000S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000S
The B06-SUD80X1000S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X1000S, 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, and the 3/8" port and M20x1.5 rod thread are fixed by the 80mm bore. This legacy model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X1000S.
The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors). For buyers sizing components, the safe working load is roughly 1361 N (about 60% of the 2268 N at 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required 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-SAUD80X1000S 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-SUD80X1000S Is Used
Cell Stacking Assembly
Drives precision stacking plates in battery cell production, using the equal both ways force to maintain consistent pressure on upward and downward indexing strokes.
Module Handling Transfer
Simultaneously pushes and pulls battery modules across conveyor lines using both rod ends, ensuring balanced transfer without rotation during pack assembly.
Tab Welding Clamping
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding operations where the back rod carries a sensor cam to confirm position for automated welding heads.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X1000S with the B06-SAUD80X1000S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X1000S, specify the SAUD80X1000S drop-in: it retains the same 80mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. Size both ways by checking neighbour bores against the equal both ways force (2268 N at 0.5 MPa), and migrate the -S sensor accuracy from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. Because the stroke is 1000mm (>=300), you must account for side-load and rod-bending by using external guides to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X1000S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X1000S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X1000S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X1000S, which shares the same 80mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal both ways force. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SUD80X1000S.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder where both faces use the rod-side area, the push and pull force are equal both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It uses a 3/8" port and adjustable air cushions of 28mm at each end.
