This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X1000 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X1000 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-SU80X1000
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 1000mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X1000, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000
The AirTAC B06-SU80X1000 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SU80X1000 with an 80mm bore and 1000mm stroke. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, its extruded aluminum barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAU80X1000, a true drop-in sharing the exact bore, stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the legacy SU used CS1-B/DS1-B) and adds a SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line lacked. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 2513 N push force), equating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so 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-SAU80X1000 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-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000 Is Used
Battery Pack Assembly
Drives 1000mm stroke indexing conveyors for electric vehicle battery module stacking, utilizing the 2513 N push force to shift heavy pallets between welding stations.
Cell Tab Welding
Positions battery cell clusters for laser tab welding with a safe working load of 1508 N, ensuring precise alignment over the extended 1-meter travel.
Module Handling
Transfers finished battery modules to packaging lines, lifting up to 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin while relying on external guides for stability.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000 with the B06-SAU80X1000
To replace the B06-SU80X1000, order the SAU80X1000 drop-in equivalent, verifying your 80mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). If sizing neighbors, a 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100mm bore provides 3927 N. Because this 1000mm stroke is long, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally and minimizing side-load. This no-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU-S model and migrate to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For battery line indexing, consider the SAUF valve-integrated variant. Remember, cushions only decelerate; install a pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X1000
- ✓ 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-SU80X1000 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X1000 (battery-manufacturing dedicated SU80X1000) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X1000. It matches the 80mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The SAU body is fully compatible, though it uses modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you specify the -S magnet option.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513 N and pulls 2268 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518 N, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor. If you need position detection on the SAU replacement, order an -S model and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Also, a plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; use an external rod lock for safety.
