This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X350 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X350 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-SU80X350
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X350 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 350mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X350, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X350
The AirTAC B06-SU80X350 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The "B06-" prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SU80X350, mechanically identical with an 80mm bore, 350mm stroke, and 3/8" port. It delivers 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) and a vertical lift capacity of 128 kg with a 2:1 margin.
AirTAC replaced this EOL profile cylinder with the SAU80X350. It is a true drop-in upgrade: identical bore, stroke, 513 kgf max force, port, and SC-series mounting. The SAU modernizes sensing to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches (this non-magnetic SU SKU lacks a magnet groove and cannot take sensors) and adds the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option the SU line never had.

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-SAU80X350 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-SU80X350 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 1508 N safe working force to align and press battery cell layers during automated module stacking without crushing delicate components.
Pack Handling Diverter
Extends 350mm to push battery packs onto secondary packaging lines, requiring an external guide to manage side-loads during high-speed lateral diversion.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery modules for tab welding operations, providing stable 80mm bore clamping force while resisting vibration on the manufacturing floor.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X350 with the B06-SAU80X350
To replace this B06-SU80X350, order the SAU80X350 drop-in. Confirm your 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB) carry over directly. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; if you need position sensing on the new SAU, specify the -S option to use current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Sizing both ways: dropping to a 63mm bore gives 1559 N [email protected] MPa, while stepping up to 100mm yields 3927 N. For the 350mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF valve-integrated variant can simplify cycle control.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X350
- ✓ 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-SU80X350 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X350 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X350. It shares the identical 80mm bore, 350mm stroke, 3/8" port, 513 kgf max force, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix was an application designation only, carrying no unique mechanical specs.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513 N and pulls 2268 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 3518 N, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept position switches; the SAU replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you order the -S option. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston—they do not hold the load on air loss.
