This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X75S 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-SUD80X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75S 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-SAUD80X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X75S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod profile cylinder built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the SUD80X75S, mechanically identical to the base model with an 80mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 2268N @0.5 MPa, 3175N @0.7 MPa, and 4082N @0.9 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X75S, which retains the same body, force, and FA/LB mounting.
This design offers anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to carry a sensor cam for synchronized dual-tool driving. The SAUD upgrade switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy model uses CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1361N (about 60% of the 2268N @0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 116kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; an external rod lock is required for load holding.

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-SAUD80X75S 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.

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-SUD80X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely presses and separates battery cell layers during module stacking without rotational drift.
Pack Handling Transfer
Drives dual-tool pushers on a conveyor line to shuttle battery packs between assembly stations simultaneously.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides stable clamping for battery tab welding, using the back rod to carry a sensor cam for exact position feedback.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X75S with the B06-SAUD80X75S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X75S, drop in the SAUD80X75S, which matches the 80mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores while confirming the equal both-ways force fits your load. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools from one piston. The SAUD upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches found on this -S magnet model. For strokes of 300mm or longer, verify the side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X75S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X75S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X75S, which shares the same 80mm bore, 75mm stroke, equal both-ways force, and 3/8" port. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, so the SAUD retains full mechanical compatibility.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268N @0.5 MPa, 3175N @0.7 MPa, and 4082N @0.9 MPa. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAUD replacement upgrades to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
