This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU50X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU50X75S 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X75S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU50X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X75S
The AirTAC B06-SU50X75S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 75mm stroke. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU50X75S, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, its extruded aluminum body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU50X75S, a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, output force, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, replacing this model's legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, and adds a new SAUF built-in-valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 589 N (about 60% of the 982 N push at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAU50X75S 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X75S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press prismatic battery cells during module stacking, utilizing the 75mm stroke for precise closure.
Pack Handling Diverter
Routes battery packs along assembly conveyors with a safe working load of 589 N, leveraging the compact profile body to fit tight transfer stations.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs for laser welding with a 50 kg vertical lift capacity, using the 1/4" port for rapid clamping cycles at 30-800 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X75S with the B06-SAU50X75S
To replace the B06-SU50X75S, order the SAU50X75S and verify your 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the SAU-compatible CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If your battery line needs self-switching, the SAU family offers the SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve. For sizing alternatives, a 40mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 21mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston. For suspended loads in cell stacking, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU50X75S
- ✓ 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU50X75S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU50X75S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU50X75S. It matches the 50mm bore, 75mm stroke, 1/4" port, force, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix only designates the application and does not change physical specs.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU50X75S replacement requires upgrading to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
