This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X125S 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-SUD80X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125S 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-SAUD80X125S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X125S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SUD80X125S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum barrel on a single piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal both ways (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, 28 mm adjustable air cushions, and a 3/8" port. As a drop-in replacement, the SAUD80X125S matches this bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting exactly.
Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam and drive two tools simultaneously, double-rod designs excel in anti-rotation and compact stacking tasks. The built-in piston magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa force), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates 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-SAUD80X125S 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.

Legacy SU-family variants: SUD (double rod), SUJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAU equivalent (SUD→SAUD, SUJ→SAUJ). The current SAU line adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both-ways force to align and press battery cell layers during module stacking without rotational drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
Uses the dual extended rods to push and retract battery packs between conveyor belts simultaneously.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs securely for welding operations, using the back rod to carry a sensor cam for precise positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X125S with the B06-SAUD80X125S
To replace this discontinued model, order the SAUD80X125S drop-in, which preserves the 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal-both-ways force fits your needs: the 63 mm neighbor provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore offers 3681 N. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation or driving two tools is required. If upgrading from the -S magnet, note that legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD. For this 125 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300 mm ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X125S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X125S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X125S. The B06- prefix is an application designation only, so the SAUD matches the 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting perfectly.
The 3/8" port cylinder delivers equal force both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value. The safe working load is approximately 1361 N, allowing a 116 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
