This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X225S 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-SU80X225S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X225S 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-SAU80X225S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X225S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X225S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X225S, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features an extruded aluminum barrel, adjustable 28 mm cushions, a Ø25 mm rod, and a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X225S, a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, superseding the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S SKU, and adds a SAUF built-in 4M valve option the SU line lacked. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that 225 mm is a nonstandard stroke. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X225S 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-SAU80X225S 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.

| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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-SU80X225S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in lithium-ion cell production, utilizing the 2513 N push force to press and align electrode sheets without damaging delicate coatings.
Module Handling
Actuates diverters and lifting stops on battery module assembly conveyors, where the 1508 N safe working load easily manages heavy aluminum module trays.
Pack Tab Welding
Positions battery packs for laser tab welding operations, requiring the 225 mm stroke to lower welding heads into fixtures while maintaining 3/8" port airflow.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X225S with the B06-SAU80X225S
To replace this B06-SU80X225S, order the SAU80X225S. Confirm the 80 mm bore, 225 mm nonstandard stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this has the -S magnet, you must switch from CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the SAU's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For higher force needs, the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; for lower loads, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. If your battery line needs self-switching, the SAUF variant integrates a 4M solenoid valve. Since the 225 mm stroke exceeds standard increments, expect a nonstandard part number. At this length, guide rods are recommended to prevent side-load bending. The air cushion only decelerates; install a pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X225S
- ✓ 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-SU80X225S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X225S (battery-manufacturing dedicated SU80X225S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X225S. It shares the identical 80 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting accessories. You just order the SAU model.
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 2513 N and pull is 2268 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 3518 N, and max theoretical force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU has a -S magnet, it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU80X225S replacement requires the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
