This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X700S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X700S 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-SU80X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X700S 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-SAU80X700S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X700S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X700S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X700S, mechanically identical to the standard line. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa through an 80 mm bore, it is replaced by the SAU80X700S.
The SAU80X700S is a true drop-in replacement retaining the 700 mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. The upgrade switches the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and adds the SAUF built-in-valve option. With a safe working load around 1508 N (60% of [email protected]), it handles vertical lifts up to 128 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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-SAU80X700S 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-SU80X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the extended 700 mm stacking mechanism for lithium-ion battery cells, utilizing the 128 kg vertical lift capacity to press and align cell layers accurately.
Module Transfer
Pushes heavy battery modules along assembly lines, where the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably overcomes conveyor friction and component weight.
Pack Handling
Indexes loaded battery packs into testing stations, taking advantage of the compact profile body to fit within dense automated storage racks.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X700S with the B06-SAU80X700S
To replace this cylinder, order the SAU80X700S ensuring your 3/8" port and M20x1.5 rod thread match. Because this is an -S model, note the sensor family changes from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For the 700 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. If stepping down from a 100 mm bore, expect less force (3927 N vs 2513 N at 0.5 MPa). The air cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X700S
- ✓ 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-SU80X700S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X700S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X700S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SU80X700S. The SAU replacement matches the 80 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, 3/8" port, force, and SC-series mounting.
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 theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, the original CS1-B/DS1-B switches are obsolete; the SAU80X700S replacement uses the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
