This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X125S 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-SU80X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X125S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 125mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X125S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X125S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X125S is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X125S, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminum barrel, a 3/8" port, and a 25 mm piston rod.
AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X125S. The SAU is a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to replace the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S model, and adds the SAUF built-in 4M valve option. With a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, your safe working load is roughly 1508 N, allowing a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X125S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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-SAU80X125S 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.
Model Code: Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X125S

| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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-SU80X125S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press prismatic battery cells into modules during automated stacking operations.
Pack Handling Divert
Uses the 125 mm stroke to push battery packs onto transfer conveyors, safely managing a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs during laser welding, relying on the adjustable 28 mm air cushions to decelerate the 25 mm rod smoothly at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X125S with the B06-SAU80X125S
To replace this B06-SU80X125S, order the SAU80X125S. Confirm the 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must switch from the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If your battery line needs integrated control, the SAUF variant adds a built-in valve the SU lacked. For sizing, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X125S
- ✓ 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-SU80X125S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X125S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X125S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant. The SAU replacement shares the exact same 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S model, the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must be replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new SAU unit.
