This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X150S 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-SUD80X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150S 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-SAUD80X150S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X150S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X150S, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull forces are equal both ways at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This discontinued model features a 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 28 mm adjustable cushion at each end.
This SUD series is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X150S, which retains the same bore, stroke, equal force, port, and FA/LB mounting. 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, though the SAU replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the computed buyer insight from the 0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of ~1361 N (about 60% of 2268 N) and a vertical lift capacity of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise cell stacking and pressing operations in battery module assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both advance and retract strokes.
Pack Handling Transfer
The double-rod anti-rotation feature keeps battery packs oriented correctly during horizontal transfer between conveyor belts without torsional drift.
Tab Welding Clamp
Drives two tools simultaneously from one cylinder body, ideal for clamping battery tabs during laser welding while maintaining compact profile dimensions.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X150S with the B06-SAUD80X150S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X150S, use the drop-in SAUD80X150S, which matches the 80mm bore, 150mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing both ways, verify that the equal-both-ways force of 2268 N @0.5 MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores (63mm or 100mm) if a different force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools simultaneously. Because this unit has the -S magnet, plan a sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For this 150mm stroke (which is under 300mm), side-load alignment is less critical, but always keep the load centered on the rod axis to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X150S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X150S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X150S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X150S, so all physical specs remain identical. The SAUD keeps the same bore, stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting, but upgrades the sensor compatibility from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value. The bore is 80mm with a 3/8 inch port, a 25mm rod, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 28mm adjustable cushion at each end. The safe working load is ~1361 N at 0.5 MPa.
