This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X700S 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-SUD80X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700S 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-SAUD80X700S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X700S 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 SUD80X700S, meaning it is mechanically identical in bore, stroke, and force. Because a rod exits both ends on a single piston, push and pull force are equal both ways at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The extruded aluminum profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder, and the 3/8" port with M20x1.5 rod thread provides robust airflow for the 80mm bore. This SUD model is discontinued and the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X700S.
The double-rod design prevents piston rotation and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool simultaneously. With a 2268 N force at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is approximately 1361 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The built-in piston magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Adjustable 28mm air cushions decelerate the piston near stroke end, but note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for held loads.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both ways force and anti-rotation stability from the double-rod design ensure precise alignment when stacking battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual conveyors or synchronizes two transfer points simultaneously using both rod ends, optimizing floor space in battery pack assembly lines.
Tab Welding Press
Provides consistent clamping pressure on battery tabs where the back rod carries a sensor cam to trigger the welding sequence exactly at stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X700S with the B06-SAUD80X700S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X700S, select the drop-in SAUD80X700S, which matches the 80mm bore, 700mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting exactly. When sizing, verify force both ways: this 80mm bore delivers 2268 N @0.5 MPa, but if you need less force, the neighboring 63mm bore provides 1402 N, or for more force, the 100mm bore offers 3681 N. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. For the -S magnet option, note that the SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the 700mm stroke is long, ensure external guides support the rod to prevent bending under side-loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X700S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X700S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X700S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X700S, and the SAUD matches its 80mm bore, 700mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD also 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. Operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s. The safe working load is approximately 1361 N at 0.5 MPa, allowing a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin.
