This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X300 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-SU80X300
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X300 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 300mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X300, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X300
The AirTAC B06-SU80X300 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-dedicated variant of the SU80X300, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa through an 80 mm bore, it is now replaced by the SAU80X300.
The SAU80X300 is a true drop-in replacement: same 300 mm stroke, 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread and SC-series mounting. This upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SU lacked a magnet and could not take switches) and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. With a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is about 1508 N, yielding a 128 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X300 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-SAU80X300 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-SU80X300 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 1508 N safe working load to press and align battery materials reliably.
Module Handling
Transfers heavy battery modules along assembly lines, where the 300 mm stroke accommodates varying pack widths and indexing requirements.
Pack Positioning
Lifts and positions battery packs up to 128 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin during end-of-line testing and packaging operations.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X300 with the B06-SAU80X300
To replace the B06-SU80X300, order the SAU80X300. Verify your 3/8 inch port, M20x1.5 rod thread, PT/G/NPT thread standard, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) to ensure a drop-in fit. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept sensors; if detection is needed, the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For sizing, the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa (4523 N at 0.9 MPa); if less force is needed, a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads. At 300 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. For faster cycling, consider the SAUF valve-integrated variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X300
- ✓ 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-SU80X300 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X300 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X300, which shares the identical 80 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 2513 N force, 3/8 inch port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix simply designates it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SU80X300.
The 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept sensors; however, the SAU80X300 replacement supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if detection is required.
