This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X150 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-SU80X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X150 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 150mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X150, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X150
The AirTAC B06-SU80X150 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X150, mechanically identical to the base model with an 80mm bore and 150mm stroke. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminum barrel, adjustable 28mm air cushions at both ends, and a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X150, a true drop-in replacement sharing the exact same body, force, port size, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU80X150 upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy SU used older CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Additionally, the SAU line offers a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU lacked. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 2513 N push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 128 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot support sensing.

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-SAU80X150 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-SU80X150 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for stacking prismatic battery cells in module assembly, providing the 1508 N safe working force needed to press and align cells without damaging delicate components.
Pack Handling Divert
Drives diverters on conveyor lines to route battery packs through testing stations, utilizing the 80mm bore's 2513 N push force to move heavy automated guided vehicle trays.
Tab Welding Clamp
Applies consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding operations, where the adjustable 28mm air cushions ensure smooth deceleration to prevent shifting during the weld cycle.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X150 with the B06-SAU80X150
To replace the discontinued B06-SU80X150, order the SAU80X150 drop-in equivalent, verifying your 80mm bore, 150mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if your battery line requires position detection, the SAU replacement lets you upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For higher force needs, the neighboring 100mm bore offers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; for lower loads, the 63mm bore provides 1559 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF built-in-valve option is available if you need self-switching. With a 150mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are low, but ensure proper guide alignment.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X150
- ✓ 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-SU80X150 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC B06-SU80X150 battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X150. It shares the identical 80mm bore, 150mm stroke, 2513 N output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it fits the same battery line application. The B06- prefix only denotes the industry application and does not change physical specs.
The 80mm bore delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is required, the SAU80X150 replacement supports current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, unlike the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B used on the SU line.
