This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-MBL32X125SCA, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. The MBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X125SCA
The AirTAC B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X125SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-MBL32X125SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X125SCA
The AirTAC B06-MAL32X125SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard MAL32X125SCA, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the MAL series with the MBL line, making the MBL32X125SCA your direct replacement. It matches the 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting perfectly.
This legacy unit features a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it operates with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Where the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X125SCA Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the stacking mechanism for prismatic battery cells, utilizing the 402 N push force and CA pivot bracket to maintain alignment during the 125 mm extension cycle.
Module Tab Welding
Positions battery module tabs for laser welding, where the Ø12 mm hard-chrome rod and self-lubricating bearing guide ensure repeatable placement in dense pack arrays.
Pack Conveyor Diverting
Actuates a diverter gate on a battery pack assembly conveyor, with the pivot clevis absorbing side loads as heavy battery trays are redirected.
Replacing the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X125SCA with B06-MBL32X125SCA
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the MBL32X125SCA. Confirm your 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads—ideal for battery cell stacking arms. If you need to adjust force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter tabbing tasks, or step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavy pack lifting. The -S magnet enables position detection, but remember the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. At 125 mm stroke, side-load tolerance is moderate; rely on the CA pivot to minimize rod bending. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but for adjustable air cushioning, specify the MBLC on the current line. This cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical battery module holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the B06-MBL32X125SCA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same G1/8 port and mounting accessories
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Need a cushion? use MBLC (adjustable air cushion)
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not intended for field disassembly.
- check Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U / CM).
- check For new builds, specify the B06-MBL32X125SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X125SCA FAQ
Yes, the B06-MAL32X125SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL32X125SCA, which offers the same 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, and the MBL shares identical physical specs. Note that the MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must upgrade from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
This double-acting cylinder has a 32 mm bore and a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping.
