This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X125 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-SUD80X125
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 125mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X125, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X125 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder discontinued and directly replaced by the SAUD80X125. The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X125, mechanically identical to the base model. 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 80 mm bore, and it uses a 3/8 port with an M20x1.5 rod thread.
Because the second rod drives a sensor cam or two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation, it is highly effective for battery stacking and handling. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. The legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors used on this discontinued model are replaced by current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. For sizing, the 2268 N force at 0.5 MPa yields a safe working load of 1361 N (60%) or a vertical lift capacity of 116 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAUD80X125 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-SUD80X125 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force drives precise cell stacking and pressing in module assembly, while the second rod resists rotational drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
The double-rod configuration moves battery packs between conveyor lines, using the opposing rod to mount a cam or secondary tool.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable, equal clamping pressure during battery tab welding operations, ensuring consistent electrical contact without twist.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125 with the B06-SAUD80X125
To replace this discontinued B06-SUD80X125, drop in the SAUD80X125, which matches the 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 3/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force against the 63 mm (1402 N) or 100 mm (3681 N) bores at 0.5 MPa to ensure equal push/pull capability. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation, to drive two tools, or to carry a sensor cam on the back rod. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors, but the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For strokes >=300, verify side-load limits. Note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X125
- ✓ 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-SUD80X125 FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X125, which shares the same 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, equal force, 3/8 port, and FA/LB mounting.
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 bore dictates a 3/8 port. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, and the SAUD replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
