This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X225 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X225 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-SUD80X225
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X225 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 225mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X225, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X225
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X225 is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X225. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a rod exiting both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal 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 80 mm bore, uses a 3/8" port, and has an M20x1.5 rod thread. This legacy SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X225.
Because the rear rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam while resisting rotation, double-rod designs excel in precision battery stacking. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. 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. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 28 mm adjustable 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 | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X225 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation stability ensure precise alignment when pressing and stacking battery cells in module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
The rear rod drives a secondary mechanism or sensor cam while the front rod pushes battery packs smoothly between conveyor belts.
Tab Welding Press
Provides consistent 2268 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for battery tab welding operations, with compact profile dimensions saving machine space.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X225 with the B06-SAUD80X225
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X225, use the drop-in SAUD80X225, which matches the 80 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force at neighboring bores; the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N @0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N @0.5 MPa. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need equal both-ways force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to drive a second tool. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors, but if upgrading to an -S SAUD, note that legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are replaced by current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For this 225 mm stroke (under 300 mm), side-load alignment is standard, but always guide the rod end to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X225
- ✓ 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-SUD80X225 FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X225, which shares the same 80 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and does not change physical specs.
As 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 safe working load is approximately 1361 N. It uses a 3/8" port, has an M20x1.5 rod thread, and operates at 30-800 mm/s.
