This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X225 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X225 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-SU80X225
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X225 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 225mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X225, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X225
The AirTAC B06-SU80X225 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X225, mechanically identical to the base model with an 80mm bore, 225mm stroke, and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC ended the SU line; order the SAU80X225 as the exact drop-in replacement. It keeps the same 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade retains the compact extruded aluminum body, shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, and adjustable 28mm cushions. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor. If sensing is needed, the SAU family uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For sizing, a safe working load is about 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAU line also adds a SAUF valve-integrated option the SU never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X225 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-SAU80X225 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-SU80X225 Is Used
Battery Module Assembly
Drives the pressing and joining of battery modules with 2513 N force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring secure cell contact during pack assembly.
Cell Handling & Transfer
Moves battery cells along production conveyors with a 225mm stroke, utilizing the compact profile body to save machine space.
Tab Welding Clamps
Actuates clamping fixtures for battery tab welding, providing stable 80mm bore force while handling delicate cell components.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X225 with the B06-SAU80X225
To replace the B06-SU80X225, order the SAU80X225. It is a true drop-in: verify your 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, PT/G/NPT thread standard, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this specific SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support a sensor; if your battery line requires position detection, select an SAU80X225-S and use the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. Sizing both ways: the 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the adjacent 63mm bore yields 1559 N. For load holding on vertical battery stack handling, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The 225mm stroke is standard, but always guide the rod to prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X225
- ✓ 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-SU80X225 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X225 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X225) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X225. It matches the 80mm bore, 225mm stroke, 2513 N force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and does not change the physical specs.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513 N and pulls 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518 N, and the theoretical max is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor. If you need sensing, the SAU replacement with -S uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches (the SU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B).
