This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X175 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-SUD80X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X175 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 175mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X175, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X175
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X175 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder, where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X175, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (2268 N @0.5 MPa). It features an extruded aluminium profile barrel, a Ø25 mm piston rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, and a 3/8" port. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X175, which matches the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod prevents piston rotation and can drive a second tool simultaneously, it is highly effective for battery cell stacking and handling. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 1361 N (60% of the 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor, and the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

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-SAUD80X175 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-SUD80X175 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation properties ensure precise, stable layering of lithium-ion battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Transfer Handling
The dual-rod design drives two synchronized pushers to shift battery packs between conveyor belts without torsional deflection.
Tab Welding Press
Provides consistent equal-both-ways clamping pressure on battery tabs during ultrasonic welding operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X175 with the B06-SAUD80X175
To replace this discontinued cylinder, use the SAUD80X175 drop-in, which preserves the 80mm bore, 175mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. When sizing both ways, verify force at neighbouring bores: the 63mm bore yields 1402 N @0.5 MPa, while the 100mm bore yields 3681 N @0.5 MPa, both equal in push and pull. Choose a double-rod design when anti-rotation or driving two tools is required. If upgrading to the SAUD with a -S sensor, note the switch changes from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For this 175mm stroke, ensure side-load alignment is within tolerance to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X175
- ✓ 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-SUD80X175 FAQ
