This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X75S 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-SU80X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X75S 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-SAU80X75S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X75S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X75S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder from AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line. The "B06-" prefix marks it as a battery-industry variant of the SU80X75S, mechanically identical to the base model with an 80mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the entire SU series with the SAU profile-type standard cylinder. The SAU80X75S is the exact drop-in replacement: it shares the same extruded aluminum body, bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SC-series mounting accessories.
Because this SU features a shorter profile than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, it saves space on dense cell-assembly lines. It includes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, but upgrading to the SAU requires current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU family also adds a SAUF variant with a built-in 4M solenoid valve that the SU line lacked. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 2513 N push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 128 kg with a 2:1 safety 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-SAU80X75S 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.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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-SU80X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa to press and align lithium-ion prismatic cells precisely during automated stacking and assembly operations.
Module Transfer
Handles the horizontal shifting of welded battery modules between conveyors, utilizing the compact extruded profile to fit tight assembly line footprints.
Tab Welding Clamp
Delivers consistent clamping pressure for busbar tab welding, with the 75mm stroke providing rapid actuation for high-throughput pack manufacturing.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X75S with the B06-SAU80X75S
To replace the B06-SU80X75S, order the SAU80X75S drop-in equivalent, confirming the 80mm bore, 75mm stroke, 3/8" port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, note that your legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches must change to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new SAU cylinder. The 80mm bore yields 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, step down to a 63mm bore (1559 N push), or step up to 100mm (3927 N push) for heavier packs. A plain cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates near stroke end—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads. If your battery line needs faster cycling, explore the SAUF variant with its integrated 4M valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X75S
- ✓ 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-SU80X75S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X75S battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X75S. It matches the 80mm bore, 75mm stroke, 2513 N output force at 0.5 MPa, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting. The "B06-" prefix only designated the battery industry application; mechanically, the SAU80X75S is identical.
The 80mm bore delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAU replacement cannot use these legacy sensors; you must upgrade to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.
