This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X25 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-SU80X25

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X25
The AirTAC B06-SU80X25 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-industry variant of the base SU80X25, mechanically identical with an extruded aluminum barrel, 80mm bore, 25mm stroke, and 3/8" port. It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Because the SU line is end-of-life, AirTAC replaces it directly with the SAU80X25. This drop-in upgrade retains the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting, ensuring a seamless retrofit on your cell stacking or pack assembly lines.
The SAU80X25 upgrade introduces modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, superseding the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on the -S SU variants. Note that this specific B06-SU80X25 SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept any position switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 128 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The SAU family also adds the SAUF variant featuring a built-in 4M solenoid valve, an integrated self-switching option the original SU series never offered.

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-SAU80X25 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-SU80X25 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Ideal for aligning and pressing battery cells during module stacking, utilizing the 2513 N push force to seat components without damaging delicate layers.
Pack Handling Divert
Short 25mm stroke provides rapid diverting and gating of battery packs on assembly conveyors, ensuring precise routing at high cycling speeds.
Tab Welding Clamp
Delivers consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding operations, holding modules firmly while maintaining exact alignment for automated welding heads.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X25 with the B06-SAU80X25
To replace the discontinued B06-SU80X25, order the SAU80X25. Verify your 80mm bore, 25mm stroke, 3/8" port (default PT thread), and M20x1.5 rod-end thread. Reuse your existing AirTAC SC-series mounting accessories, as the body footprint is identical. If your battery line requires position sensing, this non-magnetic SKU cannot support switches; you must specify an SAU80X25-S magnet version and upgrade to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, as the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete. For higher force needs, step up to a 100mm bore (3927 N push @0.5 MPa); for lighter duties, a 63mm bore provides 1559 N. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—the 28mm adjustable cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF built-in-valve option is available if you need faster local actuation.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X25
- ✓ 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-SU80X25 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X25 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X25) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X25. It features the same 80mm bore, 25mm stroke, 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting compatibility, so it fits directly into your existing battery assembly machinery.
This double-acting cylinder delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept position sensors; if sensing is required, order the SAU80X25-S and use the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch family.
