This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X300S 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-SUD80X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X300S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 300mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X300S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X300S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X300S is a double-acting double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X300S, 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 at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The 80 mm bore features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 3/8 inch port. This legacy model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X300S.
Because the rear rod can carry a sensor cam and drive two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation, the double-rod design is highly effective for battery stacking and handling. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Using the 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure, the safe working load is about 1361 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this SUD used CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, whereas the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |

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-SUD80X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force drives precise cell stacking and pressing operations in battery module assembly without rotational drift.
Dual-Tool Tab Welding
The extended rear rod simultaneously drives a secondary welding or clamping tool, synchronizing operations on the battery pack line.
Pack Handling Conveyor
Anti-rotation characteristics allow stable gripping and transfer of heavy battery packs across conveyor belts during production.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X300S with the B06-SAUD80X300S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X300S, select the drop-in SAUD80X300S, which matches the 80 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing, verify equal-both-ways force requirements against neighboring bores: the 63 mm bore yields 1402 N @0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3681 N @0.5 MPa. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, a rear rod to mount a sensor cam, or synchronized two-tool driving. For the -S magnet option, plan a sensor change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Because stroke is 300 mm, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent rod bending. Remember that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; use an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X300S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X300S FAQ
Yes, this battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X300S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X300S, which shares the same 80 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and changes no physical specs. You must upgrade sensors from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. Based on the 0.5 MPa figure, the safe working load is approximately 1361 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The cylinder operates at 30-800 mm/s with adjustable 28 mm cushions at each end, but an external rod lock is required for load holding.
