This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X600 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X600 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-SUD80X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X600 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 600mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X600, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X600
The B06-SUD80X600 is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod profile cylinder; the B06- prefix denotes this industry variant of the base SUD80X600, sharing identical mechanics. As a double-acting cylinder, a rod exits both ends on one 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. This model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X600, retaining the 80mm bore, 600mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, force is equal both ways, yielding a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot take a magnetic switch; the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors used on the SUD are replaced by current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAUD.

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-SUD80X600 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly, using the double rod to prevent rotational drift during electrode compression.
Module Transfer Handling
The back rod carries a sensor cam to trigger stops on battery module transfer lines, synchronizing dual tool actions without torsional deflection.
Pack Tab Welding Clamp
Anti-rotation stability from the twin rods ensures exact alignment when clamping battery packs for tab welding, maintaining position under rapid cycling.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X600 with the B06-SAUD80X600
To replace this discontinued B06-SUD80X600, specify the SAUD80X600 drop-in: it matches the 80mm bore, 600mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify force against neighbouring bores (e.g., 63mm or 100mm) to ensure the 2268 N @0.5 MPa baseline fits your system. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or need to drive two tools simultaneously from one piston. Because this is a non-magnetic SKU, no sensor is fitted; the SAUD upgrade shifts to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For the 600mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X600
- ✓ 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-SUD80X600 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X600 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SUD80X600) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X600, which matches the 80mm bore, 600mm stroke, equal force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD also uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B.
Force is equal both ways (push and pull) at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is 3/8". The safe working load is approximately 1361 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), yielding a 116 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin.
