This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X300S 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-SU80X300S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X300S 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-SAU80X300S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X300S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X300S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix designates it as the battery-line variant of the SU80X300S, mechanically identical to the standard model with an 80mm bore, 300mm stroke, 3/8" port, and 2513N push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X300S, a true drop-in alternative sharing the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and SC-series mounting.
For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1508N (about 60% of the 0.5MPa push force), yielding a 128kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. The SAU upgrade introduces current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used here, and adds a SAUF built-in-valve option the SU line lacked. The extruded aluminum body is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X300S 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-SAU80X300S 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. |
| ×300 | 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-SU80X300S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 128kg vertical lift capacity to press and align cell layers reliably.
Module Transfer
Actuates pushers on conveyor lines to route battery modules into pack casework, handling heavy trays with a 1508N safe working load.
Pack Handling
Positions heavy battery packs during tab welding and final enclosure, where the 80mm bore provides the necessary force without ISO 15552 bulk.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X300S with the B06-SAU80X300S
To replace this B06-SU80X300S, order the SAU80X300S, confirming the 80mm bore, 300mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), note that the SAU replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors rather than the original CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while an 100mm bore provides 3927N. For this 300mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts without air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve if faster self-switching is needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X300S
- ✓ 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-SU80X300S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X300S battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X300S, which matches the 80mm bore, 300mm stroke, 2513N push force at 0.5MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery industry variant, and the SAU replacement shares all physical specs.
At 0.5MPa it pushes 2513N and pulls 2268N; at 0.7MPa it pushes 3518N, with a theoretical max of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, it originally used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAU80X300S replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate the load; an external rod lock is required to hold position.
