This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X700 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X700 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-SU80X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X700 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 700mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X700, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X700
The AirTAC B06-SU80X700 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder with an 80 mm bore and 700 mm stroke. The leading "B06-" prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SU80X700, making it suited for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa (with a 3/8" port and M20x1.5 rod thread), its extruded aluminum body is more compact than a same-bore ISO 15552 unit.
AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU80X700, a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting. The SAU upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and introduces the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), equating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X700 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-SAU80X700 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-SU80X700 Is Used
Battery Module Handling
Drives the 700 mm transfer of battery modules during pack assembly, utilizing the 80 mm bore's 2513 N push force to shift heavy cell arrays between welding stations.
Cell Stacking Transfer
Executes long-stroke positioning of electrode stacks in cell production lines, where the compact profile body saves floor space along extended conveyor sections.
Tab Welding Indexing
Indexes battery tabs into automated welding jigs, relying on adjustable air cushions to decelerate the payload smoothly at the end of the 700 mm extension.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X700 with the B06-SAU80X700
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU80X700, matching the 80 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed on the new unit, specify an SAU80X700S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. If downsizing, a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. For the 700 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The SAUF valve-integrated variant can simplify cycling if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X700
- ✓ 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-SU80X700 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X700 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X700, which shares the identical 80 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, output force, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The "B06-" prefix simply marked it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the SAU80X700 matches it mechanically.
This 80 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a magnetic switch; the SAU replacement with a magnet (-S) uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-B/DS1-B.
