This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X25 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-SUD80X25
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X25 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 25mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X25, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X25
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X25 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the base SUD80X25, mechanically identical with an extruded aluminium barrel, 80mm bore, 25mm stroke, and 3/8" port. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning push and pull forces are equal both ways (2268N at 0.5MPa). This model is discontinued.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X25, matching the bore, stroke, force, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam or drive two tools. With 2268N at 0.5MPa, the safe working load is about 1361N, yielding a 116kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take switches; the SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAUD80X25 carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAUD80X25 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-SUD80X25 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies equal both-ways force to align and press battery cell stacks, using the double-rod geometry to prevent platen rotation during high-speed compression.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pushers simultaneously from a single center body on the conveyor line, moving battery modules between assembly stations with matched push and pull dynamics.
Tab Welding Clamp
Clamps battery tabs for welding with a stable 1361N safe working load, while the rear rod actuates an auxiliary mechanism without requiring a second cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X25 with the B06-SAUD80X25
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X25, order the drop-in SAUD80X25, which preserves the 80mm bore, 25mm stroke, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 3/8" port. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (63mm or 100mm) against your equal-both-ways force requirement. Choose a double rod when you need anti-rotation or must drive two tools simultaneously. Mounting uses FA or LB brackets (SC-series compatible only). Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take sensors; the SAUD upgrade requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For this 25mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke over 300mm, add guide rails. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X25
- ✓ 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-SUD80X25 FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X25 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X25. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only, so the SAUD matches the 80mm bore, 25mm stroke, 3/8" port, and equal-both-ways force perfectly. The SAUD also offers the SAUF built-in-valve variant the SU line lacked.
Force is equal both ways: 2268N @0.5MPa, 3175N @0.7MPa, and 4082N @0.9MPa. It operates at 0.15-1.0MPa (proof 1.5MPa) with a speed of 30-800mm/s. The bore is 80mm with a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, and 28mm adjustable cushions. It operates from -20 to +70C (up to 150C with Viton H).
