This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X150S 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-SU80X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X150S 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-SAU80X150S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X150S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X150S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing (the B06- prefix denotes this industry variant, mechanically identical to the standard SU80X150S). It delivers 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa through an 80 mm bore. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X150S, a true drop-in sharing the same 150 mm stroke, 513 kgf max force, 3/8" port and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade keeps the compact extruded aluminum body—shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore—but modernizes the sensor groove. Your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the SAU. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X150S 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-SAU80X150S 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-SU80X150S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press prismatic battery cells cleanly during module stacking operations.
Pack Handling Divert
Uses the 150 mm stroke to push battery packs onto secondary assembly conveyors, safely decelerating loads with 28 mm adjustable cushions.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery modules for tab welding with a 128 kg vertical lift capacity (2:1 margin), ensuring stable positioning under live air.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X150S with the B06-SAU80X150S
To replace this B06-SU80X150S, order the SAU80X150S and verify your 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) are unchanged. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. If you need integrated flow control, the SAU line offers a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve the SU lacked. For loads near the 2513 N push @0.5 MPa rating, a neighboring 63 mm bore provides 1559 N if downscaling, or a 100 mm bore offers 3927 N for heavier packs. Remember, the 28 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston; they do not hold the load on air loss—add a pilot-operated check valve for vertical battery stack holding. At 150 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X150S
- ✓ 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-SU80X150S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X150S (battery manufacturing variant of the SU80X150S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X150S. It shares the same 80 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix is an industry designation only, so the physical specs are identical to the base SU cylinder.
This 80 mm bore cylinder delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 513 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. On the SAU80X150S replacement, you must upgrade to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
