This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X800 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X800 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-SUD80X800
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 800mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAUD80X800, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800
The B06-SUD80X800 is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SUD80X800 double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its use in cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering the physical specs. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, 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 28 mm adjustable cushions. This SUD model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X800, sharing the same bore, stroke, and SC-series FA/LB mounting.
The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the rear rod to drive a second tool or cam. Based on the 0.5 MPa force, the safe working load is roughly 1361 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor. Air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding upon air loss.

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-SAUD80X800 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-SUD80X800 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in battery cell production, using equal both-ways force to press and index materials without rotational drift.
Module Transfer
Pushes and pulls battery modules along assembly conveyors, utilizing the dual-rod output to synchronize opposing clamps or stops.
Pack Handling
Lifts and positions heavy battery packs during end-of-line packaging, relying on the 116 kg vertical lift margin for safe vertical movement.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800 with the B06-SAUD80X800
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X800, use the SAUD80X800 drop-in equivalent, which preserves the 80 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify that the equal push/pull force of 2268 N @0.5 MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores if more force is needed. A double-rod cylinder is right when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-end actuation. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, you cannot mount legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For this 800 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X800
- ✓ 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-SUD80X800 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X800 is discontinued. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X800. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X800, which shares identical bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. The SAUD uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The safe working load is approximately 1361 N, allowing a vertical lift of about 116 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The cylinder operates at 30-800 mm/s but cannot hold a load without live air; use an external rod lock for holding.
