This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X700 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-SUD80X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 700mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X700, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X700 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X700, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. Because a piston rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum profile barrel, the push and pull forces are equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. This configuration drives two tools simultaneously and provides inherent anti-rotation benefits. The bore is 80 mm, the port is 3/8", and the rod thread is M20x1.5. This SUD series is discontinued and is replaced by the drop-in SAUD80X700.
When sizing this cylinder for a battery line, the equal both ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 1361 N (about 60% of the 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAUD80X700 replacement retains the exact bore, stroke, port, and FA/LB mounting compatibility, but upgrades sensing to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this non-magnetic SUD SKU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches). Note that the 700 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Synchronizes two pressing plates in prismatic cell stacking, utilizing the equal both ways force to maintain consistent electrode pressure.
Module Transfer Handling
Drives dual pusher arms on a battery module assembly conveyor, using the anti-rotation properties of the double rod to keep tooling parallel.
Pack Tabbing Press
Actuates opposing welding electrodes for battery pack tabbing, ensuring balanced force application on both sides of the joint.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700 with the B06-SAUD80X700
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X700, order the drop-in SAUD80X700, which matches the 80 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify your force needs against the equal both ways output of 2268 N @0.5 MPa; neighboring bores (63 mm or 100 mm) can be evaluated if margins require. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need to drive two tools in opposing directions or require anti-rotation stability. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot take a magnetic switch; the SAUD upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For the 700 mm stroke, external guides are essential to manage side-load and rod-bending risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X700
- ✓ 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-SUD80X700 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X700 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SUD80X700) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X700, which matches the bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the 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" and the rod thread is M20x1.5.
