This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X75 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-SUD80X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 75mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X75 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X75, mechanically identical in every spec. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways 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 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a 3/8 inch port. This legacy model is discontinued.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X75, which shares the same bore, stroke, force, port, and FA/LB mounting. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously. For sizing, the safe working load is approximately 1361 N (60% of the 2268 N @0.5 figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor. Air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The B06-SAUD80X75 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force is ideal for stacking battery cells during module assembly, preventing asymmetric drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
The double-rod anti-rotation property keeps battery packs aligned during lateral transfers on conveyor lines.
Tab Welding Press
Drives dual welding heads simultaneously from both rod ends, ensuring balanced contact pressure on battery tabs.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75 with the B06-SAUD80X75
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X75, select the drop-in SAUD80X75, which preserves the 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 3175 N equal-both-ways force at 0.7 MPa, and 3/8 inch port. When sizing both ways, verify force against neighboring bores (63 mm or 100 mm) to ensure the 2268 N @0.5 MPa baseline meets your dynamic requirements. Choose a double-rod configuration when anti-rotation stability is needed or when driving two tools from one cylinder. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA, and LB (SC-series compatible only). Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For strokes >=300 mm, confirm shaft side-load limits. Finally, remember the air cushion only decelerates; install an external rod lock for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X75
- ✓ 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-SUD80X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X75 battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X75. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and does not change any physical spec; the SAUD shares the identical 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, and mounting.
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 inch. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor, and the air cushion only decelerates the load without holding it.
