This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X600S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X600S 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-SU80X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X600S 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-SAU80X600S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X600S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X600S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X600S, mechanically identical to the standard line for cell and pack assembly. Delivering 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, its exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X600S, retaining the 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade keeps the compact extruded aluminum body but switches the -S magnet to modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (the SU used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches) and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is about 1508 N (60% of [email protected]), yielding a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock to hold loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X600S 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-SAU80X600S 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-SU80X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the precise vertical stacking of lithium-ion prismatic cells during module assembly, utilizing the 600 mm stroke to accommodate tall stacking magazines.
Pack Handling Transfer
Pushes heavy battery packs laterally between conveyor belts on the production floor, leveraging the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa for reliable indexing.
Tray Loading Lift
Raises loaded battery trays from lower elevations to the main processing line, safely lifting up to 128 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X600S with the B06-SAU80X600S
To replace this B06-SU80X600S, order the SAU80X600S, confirming the 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. The -S magnet means you must upgrade from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches to the SAU's CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For a 600 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by adding an external guide to absorb side loads. If stepping down, a 63 mm bore gives 1559 N [email protected]; if scaling up, a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. For mid-stroke holding, a plain cylinder drifts without air, so install a pilot-operated check valve or rod lock. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X600S
- ✓ 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-SU80X600S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X600S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X600S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X600S. It offers the same 80 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting compatibility.
The 80 mm bore provides 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 SU model has a -S magnet, you must upgrade sensors: the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the SAU line.
