This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X1000S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X1000S 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-SU80X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000S 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-SAU80X1000S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X1000S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The leading B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X1000S, mechanically identical to the standard line. Delivering 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa through an 80 mm bore, it is replaced drop-in by the SAU80X1000S. This upgrade retains the exact stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread and SC-series mounting.
The SAU replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S SKU, and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line lacked. The extruded aluminum profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), equating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAU80X1000S 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-SU80X1000S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the 1000 mm stacking and handling motions in lithium cell production, utilizing the 2513 N thrust class for reliable electrode positioning.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules along extended assembly lines, where the 80 mm bore force and adjustable end cushions ensure smooth deceleration over the long stroke.
Pack Handling
Translates heavy battery packs between testing stations, taking advantage of the 128 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 safety margin.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X1000S with the B06-SAU80X1000S
To replace this B06-SU80X1000S, order the SAU80X1000S drop-in: confirm the 80 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this has the -S magnet, you must switch from CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. A 1000 mm stroke demands external guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads. For sizing alternatives, the neighboring 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for held loads. Consider the SAUF variant if a built-in valve is needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X1000S
- ✓ 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-SU80X1000S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X1000S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU80X1000S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X1000S. It matches the 80 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only, so the SAU replacement fits identically.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513 N and pulls 2268 N. Push is 3518 N at 0.7 MPa and 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, the original CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The air cushions only decelerate the load and do not hold it without live air.
