This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X350S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X350S 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-SU80X350S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X350S 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-SAU80X350S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X350S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X350S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-line variant of the SU80X350S, mechanically identical with an 80mm bore, 350mm stroke, 2513N push at 0.5MPa, and a 3/8" port. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X350S, a true drop-in sharing the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade switches to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S model) and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508N (60% of the 0.5MPa push force), translating to a 128kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X350S 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-SAU80X350S 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.

| -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-SU80X350S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies consistent 2513N pressure at 0.5MPa for lithium-ion cell stacking and alignment operations.
Module Handling
Drives the 350mm stroke to transfer battery modules between assembly conveyors with smooth cushioning.
Tab Welding Clamp
Positions and holds battery tabs for laser welding, requiring external guides for the long 350mm rod.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X350S with the B06-SAU80X350S
To replace this B06-SU80X350S, order the SAU80X350S drop-in equivalent. Confirm the 80mm bore, 350mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this is an -S model, you must upgrade your sensors: the old CS1-B/DS1-B switches will not fit the SAU groove, so select CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If sizing alternatives, the 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while the 100mm bore yields 3927N. For this 350mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. For battery pack assembly stations needing intermediate stopping, consider the SAUF variant with its built-in valve, and always add a pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X350S
- ✓ 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-SU80X350S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X350S battery-manufacturing cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X350S. It shares the identical 80mm bore, 350mm stroke, 2513N push force at 0.5MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix simply denotes the battery industry application variant.
The SAU80X350S outputs 2513N push and 2268N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. Because your old SU used a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches, the SAU replacement requires upgrading to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The 3/8" port and M20x1.5 rod thread remain unchanged.
