This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X200S 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-SU80X200S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200S 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-SAU80X200S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X200S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-line variant of the SU80X200S, mechanically identical to the standard model with an 80mm bore, 200mm stroke, and 2513N push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X200S, a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting footprint.
This compact extruded-aluminum body is shorter than a same-bore ISO 15552 cylinder. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508N (60% of the 0.5MPa push force), yielding a 128kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet on this legacy SKU worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but the SAU replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and introduces the SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line lacked. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushions only decelerate.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |

Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200S Is Used
Battery Module Handling
Lifts and positions heavy battery modules during pack assembly, utilizing the 2513N push force at 0.5MPa to shift 128kg loads safely with a 2:1 margin.
Cell Stacking Transfer
Drives the 200mm stroke to push prismatic cells into stacking fixtures on the production line, relying on adjustable 28mm air cushions to decelerate smoothly.
Tab Welding Clamping
Holds battery tabs firmly in place during ultrasonic welding operations, taking advantage of the compact profile body to fit dense manufacturing machinery.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X200S with the B06-SAU80X200S
To replace this discontinued B06-SU80X200S, order the SAU80X200S, confirming the 80mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting hardware are retained for a direct drop-in. Because this unit has the -S magnet, you must upgrade your sensing setup: the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete, and the SAU replacement requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If your battery line needs self-switching without external plumbing, consider the SAUF variant which integrates a 4M solenoid valve directly into the cylinder body. When sizing, the 80mm bore delivers 2513N push at 0.5MPa; if you need less force, step down to a 63mm bore (1559N), or step up to 100mm (3927N) for heavier packs. Remember that a standard cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical gripping. The 200mm stroke is well within standard limits, so no side-load guide is strictly required, but always minimize rod bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X200S
- ✓ 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-SU80X200S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X200S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X200S. The B06- prefix simply denotes it was the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X200S. The SAU replacement is mechanically identical, matching the 80mm bore, 200mm stroke, 2513N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
At 0.5MPa it provides 2513N push and 2268N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 3518N, and the theoretical max is 513kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this is a -S magnet model, it originally used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAU80X200S replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Also, the air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not hold the load without live air.
