This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X450 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X450 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-SU80X450
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X450 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 450mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X450, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X450
The AirTAC B06-SU80X450 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X450, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAU80X450. This drop-in upgrade keeps the 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting identical.
The SAU replacement uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy SU used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. For sizing, a safe working load is ~1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), allowing a ~128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAU family also adds a SAUF valve-integrated option the SU line never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X450 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-SAU80X450 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X450 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 2513 N push force to press layers securely without damaging delicate components.
Module Transfer
Actuates pushing and diverting arms on conveyor lines for battery module handling, moving assemblies safely with a 128 kg vertical lift capacity.
Pack Alignment
Positions heavy battery packs within welding fixtures, relying on the 450 mm stroke and adjustable cushions to decelerate loads smoothly at travel ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X450 with the B06-SAU80X450
To replace this B06-SU80X450, order the SAU80X450 drop-in: it matches the 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, M20x1.5 rod thread, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if your battery line requires position detection, order the SAU80X450S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For higher force needs, the 100 mm bore offers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; for lower force, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. At 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. If valve integration is needed, consider the SAUF variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X450
- ✓ 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-SU80X450 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X450 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU80X450) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X450, which shares the identical 80 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor. If sensing is needed, the SAU80X450S replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
