This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X75 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-SU80X75
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X75 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 75mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X75, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X75
The AirTAC B06-SU80X75 is a discontinued double-acting profile-type cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SU80X75, mechanically identical with an extruded aluminum barrel and adjustable cushions at both ends. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it provides a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) and a vertical lift capacity of 128 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Because this SU model is end-of-life, AirTAC replaced it with the SAU80X75. It is a true drop-in: the same 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 513 kgf max force, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread and SC-series mounting. The SAU upgrade uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, whereas this legacy line used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor, but the SAU family also adds the SAUF built-in 4M solenoid valve option the SU never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X75 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-SAU80X75 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-SU80X75 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the precision stacking mechanisms in prismatic cell assembly, utilizing the 2513 N push force to press and align electrode coatings reliably.
Module Handling
Actuates diverters and lifting stops on battery module conveyor lines, moving heavy packs with a safe working load of approximately 1508 N.
Pack Tabbing Press
Provides consistent clamping pressure during busbar welding and tabbing operations in pack assembly, taking advantage of the 128 kg vertical lift capacity.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X75 with the B06-SAU80X75
To replace the B06-SU80X75, order the SAU80X75 drop-in equivalent. Confirm your 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, PT/G/NPT thread standard, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). Because this SKU has no magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need position detection on the SAU, order the -S option and note the switch family changes from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. For sizing both ways: a 63 mm bore gives 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore gives 3927 N. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical holding. The SAUF valve-integrated variant is available if you need self-switching. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X75
- ✓ 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-SU80X75 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X75 (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU80X75) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X75. It shares the identical 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting, so it drops right into the same battery line fixtures without mechanical changes.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 3518 N, and the theoretical max is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. If you need sensing on the SAU replacement, order the -S option and note the switches change from legacy CS1-B/DS1-B to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
