This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU80X900S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU80X900S 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-SU80X900S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X900S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 900mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU80X900S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X900S
The AirTAC B06-SU80X900S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU80X900S, mechanically identical to the base model. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa through an 80 mm bore, it is replaced drop-in by the SAU80X900S. The SAU retains the exact 900 mm stroke, 3/8" port, and SC-series mounting.
The extruded aluminum profile body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note the SAU upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches on this -S SKU, and adds a SAUF valve-integrated option.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU80X900S 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-SAU80X900S 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-SU80X900S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives stacking mechanisms in cell assembly lines, utilizing the 900 mm stroke to layer electrode materials with precise positioning over extended reaches.
Module Transfer Handling
Pushes battery modules along conveyors during pack assembly, where the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily moves heavy tray assemblies between stations.
Tab Welding Positioning
Actuates welding heads or clamps during cell tabbing processes, requiring external guides to maintain alignment and prevent rod bending over the 900 mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU80X900S with the B06-SAU80X900S
To replace this B06-SU80X900S, order the SAU80X900S. Confirm the 3/8" port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and PT/G/NPT thread preference. Because the -S magnet is present, prepare to swap legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The SAU keeps the 80 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, and SC-series mounting. For the 900 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. If checking neighbours, a 63 mm bore gives 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. A plain cylinder drifts without air; use an external rod lock for held loads. The SAUF variant offers a built-in valve the SU lacked.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU80X900S
- ✓ 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-SU80X900S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU80X900S (the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of SU80X900S) is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU80X900S. It shares the same 80 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 3/8" port, output force, and SC-series mounting. The B06- prefix only designates the battery industry application and does not change the physical specs.
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 maximum theoretical force of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is an -S magnet model, it used legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU80X900S replacement requires upgrading to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
