This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X600 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X600 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-SU80X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X600 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 600mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X600, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X600
The AirTAC B06-SU80X600 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X600, mechanically identical to the base model for cell and pack assembly lines. Delivering 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa through an 80 mm bore, its exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X600, preserving the 600 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a SAUF built-in 4M valve option absent in the SU line. With a 2513 N push force, the safe working load is roughly 1508 N, translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor, and the 600 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X600 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-SAU80X600 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-SU80X600 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, utilizing the 2513 N push force to handle heavy electrode stacks over the 600 mm travel.
Module Transfer
Pushes battery modules between conveyor stations, requiring the 3/8" port for rapid cycling and external guides to support the long 600 mm stroke.
Pack Handling
Positions heavy battery packs for tab welding and final packaging, where the 128 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin ensures reliable positioning.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X600 with the B06-SAU80X600
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU80X600. Verify the 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, order the SAU80X600S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. The 600 mm stroke demands external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending risks. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock for load holding. The SAUF variant adds a built-in valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X600
- ✓ 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-SU80X600 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X600 (battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X600) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X600, offering the same 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 513 kgf max force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
It delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 513 kgf max at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the SAU-S equivalent uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The air cushion only decelerates the load—it does not hold position on air loss.
