This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X800 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X800 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-SU80X800
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X800 is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 800mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X800, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X800
The AirTAC B06-SU80X800 is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder optimized for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the base SU80X800, mechanically identical with an 80mm bore, 800mm stroke, 3/8" port, and 2513N push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced the SU line with the SAU family, making SAU80X800 the exact drop-in replacement sharing the same body, force, and SC-series mounting.
Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept sensing switches. The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors (legacy SU used CS1-B/DS1-B) and adds a SAUF built-in valve option. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508N (60% of the 0.5MPa push force), translating to a 128kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X800 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-SAU80X800 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-SU80X800 Is Used
Battery Pack Handling
Moves heavy battery modules along 800mm travel on pack assembly lines, utilizing the 2513N push force to shift packs smoothly between welding stations.
Cell Tray Indexing
Indexes empty or filled cell trays down long conveyors, where the 800mm stroke accommodates wide tray formats and high-speed cycling at 30-800 mm/s.
Tab Welding Press
Applies consistent clamping pressure for battery tab welding operations, relying on adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 80mm piston at stroke ends.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X800 with the B06-SAU80X800
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the SAU80X800. Confirm the 80mm bore, 800mm stroke, 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB). This no-magnet SKU cannot hold a sensor; if you need position detection on the SAU, specify the -S option and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For load holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate. At 800mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally. Downsize to a 63mm bore (1559N push @0.5MPa) for lighter loads, or upsize to 100mm (3927N) if 2513N is insufficient.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X800
- ✓ 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-SU80X800 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X800 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the AirTAC SAU80X800. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing variant; mechanically it is identical to the SU80X800. The SAU replacement matches the 80mm bore, 800mm stroke, 3/8" port, 513 kgf max force, and SC-series mounting.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513N and pulls 2268N. At 0.7 MPa push is 3518N, and the theoretical max is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept a sensor. If you need position detection on the SAU replacement, you must order the -S version, which uses current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the older CS1-B/DS1-B.
