This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X50S 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-SUD80X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X50S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X50S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X50S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X50S is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD80X50S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning push and pull force are equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. It features an extruded aluminium profile barrel, a Ø25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, 28 mm adjustable air cushions at each end, and a 3/8" port. This SUD series is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X50S.
The SAUD80X50S retains the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility of this legacy unit. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, though the SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (60% of the 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

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-SUD80X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both extend and retract strokes.
Module Handling
The double-rod anti-rotation特性 keeps battery modules aligned during transfer between conveyor belts without lateral drift.
Tab Welding Press
Drives two welding tools simultaneously from opposite ends, maintaining parallelism during battery pack tab joining operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X50S with the B06-SAUD80X50S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X50S, select the SAUD80X50S, which is a drop-in match for bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Because force is equal both ways, size it symmetrically: if 2268 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to a larger bore, or step down if oversized. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously. If your SUD used the -S magnet option, note that the SAUD upgrades from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For strokes >=300 mm, verify the side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Mounting compatibility is strictly with the AirTAC SC series.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X50S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X50S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X50S (a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SUD80X50S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X50S, which matches the bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The B06- prefix is an application designation only and does not change physical specs.
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 air port is 3/8". The cylinder operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a 28 mm adjustable cushion at each end.
