This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X175 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-SU80X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X175 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 175mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X175, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X175
The AirTAC B06-SU80X175 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X175, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, its exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X175, matching the 80 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
This extruded aluminum profile body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. A safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line lacked. Note this SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X175 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-SAU80X175 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X175 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 2513 N push force to press and align cell layers securely.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules onto conveyor lines for pack integration, where the compact profile body saves valuable machine footprint.
Pack Handling
Actuates lifting and positioning stops for heavy battery packs, safely moving loads up to 1508 N without requiring external guidance.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X175 with the B06-SAU80X175
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU80X175. Confirm the 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) to ensure a true drop-in. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAU80X175S and migrate to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches from the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. At 175 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the load to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. The SAUF valve-integrated variant can simplify cycling if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X175
- ✓ 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-SU80X175 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X175 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X175. The B06- prefix simply denotes it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X175. The SAU80X175 shares the exact same 80 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 513 kgf max force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 513 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is required, order the SAU80X175S replacement; note that the SAU family uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, whereas the older SU used CS1-B/DS1-B.
