This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X200S 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-SUD80X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X200S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 200mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X200S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X200S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X200S, mechanically identical to the base model. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum barrel on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal both ways at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, 28 mm adjustable air cushions, a 3/8" port, and a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X200S, which retains the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because the second rod drives a sensor cam and prevents rotation, this compact profile cylinder is ideal for battery cell stacking and handling. A computed buyer insight from the 0.5 MPa rating shows a safe working load of roughly 1361 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 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 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-SAUD80X200S 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-SUD80X200S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both ways force for precise, anti-rotation pressing and alignment during prismatic cell stacking operations.
Module Transfer Handling
Uses the dual-rod profile to drive two synchronized transfer arms, moving battery modules smoothly between assembly stations.
Pack Tabbing Press
Leverages the second rod to carry a sensor cam for exact position verification during battery pack tabbing and welding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X200S with the B06-SAUD80X200S
To replace the B06-SUD80X200S, order the drop-in SAUD80X200S by inserting an A after the leading S, keeping the 80 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, and magnet. The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. When sizing both ways, verify equal force with neighboring bores: the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N @0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N. Choose this double-rod design when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible only). For strokes of 300 mm or longer, account for side-load deflection on the rods.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X200S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X200S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X200S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X200S. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X200S, which is mechanically identical with the same bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade the sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG series.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The 80 mm bore uses a 3/8" port, a 25 mm rod, and M20x1.5 rod threads. The safe working load is approximately 1361 N, which allows a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin.
