This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X200 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-SU80X200
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 200mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X200, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200
The AirTAC B06-SU80X200 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X200, mechanically identical to the base model with a 80mm bore and 200mm stroke. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminum barrel and adjustable air cushions at both ends.
This end-of-life cylinder is fully replaced by the SAU80X200 drop-in upgrade, retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The SAU upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (this non-magnetic SU SKU cannot take a switch) and offers a new SAUF built-in-valve option. Expect a safe working load around 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push) and a vertical lift capacity near 128 kg with a 2:1 safety 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-SAU80X200 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-SU80X200 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 2513 N push force to press and align battery layers reliably.
Module Transfer
Actuates diverters and stops on conveyor lines for battery module handling, moving loads safely within the 1508 N working load limit.
Pack Handling
Lifts and positions battery packs during end-of-line packaging, leveraging the 200mm stroke and 128 kg vertical lift capacity.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200 with the B06-SAU80X200
To replace this B06-SU80X200, order the SAU80X200 drop-in equivalent, verifying your 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting hardware. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if position detection is required on the SAU, you must specify the magnet option and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. When sizing, the 80mm bore yields 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 63mm bore reduces thrust to 1559 N, while an 80mm bore at 0.7 MPa provides 3518 N. For any load holding, note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston and a plain cylinder drifts without live air—install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve if self-switching is needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X200
- ✓ 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-SU80X200 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X200 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X200. It shares the identical 80mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix simply designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAU replacement matches these physical specs exactly.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513 N and pull is 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518 N, and the theoretical maximum is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a magnetic sensor; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you order the -S version.
