This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAUD80X800S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAUD80X800S 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-SUD80X800S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800S 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-SAUD80X800S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800S
The AirTAC B06-SUD80X800S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder where the B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SUD80X800S. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (2268 N at 0.5 MPa). The extruded aluminium profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X800S, retaining the 80mm bore, 800mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because two rods drive the load, this cylinder resists rotation and can drive two tools simultaneously, while the back rod carries a sensor cam for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAUD replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors). For this 80mm bore, the computed safe working load is roughly 1361 N (about 60% of the 2268 N at 0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold loads on air loss, requiring 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 | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking presses in cell assembly lines, using the equal both ways force to maintain consistent pressure on battery layers.
Module Transfer Handling
Moves battery modules along conveyor lines, leveraging the dual-rod anti-rotation feature to prevent load twisting during lateral transfers.
Pack Tabbing Press
Actuates dual-tool tabbing presses for battery packs, where the second rod simultaneously drives a sensor cam for precise positioning feedback.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SUD Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SUD80X800S with the B06-SAUD80X800S
To replace the discontinued B06-SUD80X800S, specify the drop-in SAUD80X800S, which matches the 80mm bore, 800mm stroke, equal-both-ways force, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting. When sizing both ways, verify the 2268 N (at 0.5 MPa) output fits your load, or step to neighbouring bores (63mm or 100mm) to scale force. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, dual-tool driving, or a back-rod sensor cam. Because this unit has an 800mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side-load. If using the -S magnet, change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For load holding without live air, add an external rod lock.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAUD80X800S
- ✓ 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-SUD80X800S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SUD80X800S is discontinued. The B06- prefix simply marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SUD80X800S, mechanically identical in spec. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAUD80X800S, which matches the 80mm bore, 800mm stroke, 3/8" port, and FA/LB mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4082 N at 0.9 MPa. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value. The air port is 3/8" (PT thread), and it uses an M20x1.5 rod-end thread with a 28mm adjustable air cushion at each end.
