This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X600S 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-SUD80X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X600S 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-SAUD80X600S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X600S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X600S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD80X600S. 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. It features a 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and an extruded aluminium barrel shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
As this SUD model is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X600S. The SAU replacement retains the bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S magnet model. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam. For sizing, the 2268 N @0.5 MPa force yields a safe working load of 1361 N and a vertical lift capacity of 116 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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-SUD80X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force drives precise cell stacking and pressing in battery module assembly, preventing drift during multi-layer handling.
Pack Transfer Conveyor
The double-rod anti-rotation characteristic stabilises heavy battery pack transfers across conveyor lines without torsional deflection.
Tab Welding Clamp
Simultaneous dual-end actuation allows one cylinder to clamp and position battery tabs for welding, maintaining strict alignment.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X600S with the B06-SAUD80X600S
To replace the B06-SUD80X600S, use the SAUD80X600S drop-in; body, bore, 600 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting are unchanged. When sizing both ways, check the 63 mm bore (1402 N @0.5 MPa) or 100 mm bore (3681 N @0.5 MPa) to match your equal-both-ways force requirements. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. For the -S magnet option, swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 600 mm stroke, external guides are required to prevent rod bending under side-load. Note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X600S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X600S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X600S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X600S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically it is identical to the SUD80X600S. The SAUD retains the same 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting, but uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of 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 air port is 3/8". The safe working load is approximately 1361 N, offering a vertical lift capacity of 116 kg with a 2:1 margin.
