This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X450 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X450 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-SUD80X450
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X450 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 450mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X450, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X450
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X450 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD80X450. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum barrel on a single piston, meaning push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued. The direct drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X450, which retains the exact 80mm bore, 450mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy unit used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot support sensing.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can carry a cam or drive two tools simultaneously, it is highly effective for battery cell stacking and module handling. For sizing, the computed 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. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with adjustable 28 mm cushions at each end. As a 450 mm stroke carries a side-load and rod-bending risk, external guides are recommended to prevent premature seal wear.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X450 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force and dual rods provide the anti-rotation stability needed to precisely stack battery cells without skewing during the compression and placement cycles.
Module Transfer Handling
The second rod drives a secondary mechanism or cam on the conveyor line, allowing synchronized part pushing and clamping from a single 80mm bore cylinder.
Pack Alignment Pusher
Drives two opposing tools simultaneously to center and align battery packs within fixtures, leveraging the 3175 N @0.7 MPa equal force for consistent positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X450 with the B06-SAUD80X450
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X450, order the SAUD80X450 drop-in: it matches the 80mm bore, 450mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the equal 2268 N @0.5 MPa force fits your load, or step to neighboring bores (63mm or 100mm) for different outputs. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. For the 450mm stroke, add external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending risks. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors, but if upgrading to a sensing SAUD, switch from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss and its cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X450
- ✓ 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-SUD80X450 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X450 is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X450. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X450, which matches the 80mm bore, 450mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
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 safe working load is approximately 1361 N. The air port is 3/8" (PT thread), the rod is Ø25 mm with an M20x1.5 thread, and it features 28 mm adjustable cushions at each end.
