This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X150 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-SUD80X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 150mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X150, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X150 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X150, 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 @0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 3/8" port.
As this SKU is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X150, which retains the same bore, stroke, equal force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy model used CS1-B/DS1-B. Note that this specific SKU has no magnet (-S omitted) and cannot take a magnetic switch. For sizing, the 2268 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of ~1361 N (60% factor), translating to 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-SAUD80X150 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-SUD80X150 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation stacking of prismatic battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool grippers on a conveyor line, utilizing the back rod to sync secondary actions without extra valves.
Tab Welding Press
Maintains stable, equal clamping pressure on battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, preventing workpiece rotation.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150 with the B06-SAUD80X150
To replace the B06-SUD80X150, use the drop-in SAUD80X150, which preserves the 80 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 3175 N @0.7 MPa equal-both-ways force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force against neighbouring bores: the 63 mm bore provides 1402 N @0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N @0.5 MPa. A double-rod cylinder is right when you need anti-rotation stability, or when the back rod carries a sensor cam to drive two tools simultaneously. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, the SAUD upgrade requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SUD used CS1-B/DS1-B). For strokes >=300 mm, account for side-load deflection on the rod. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the 28 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X150
- ✓ 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-SUD80X150 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X150 is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X150. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X150, which is mechanically identical in bore, stroke, force, and 3/8" port, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 3/8". The 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure yields a safe working load of ~1361 N, or a vertical lift of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The cylinder operates at 30-800 mm/s.
