This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-MBL32X75CA, 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-MAL32X75CA
The AirTAC Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X75CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-MBL32X75CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X75CA
The AirTAC B06-MAL32X75CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The "B06-" prefix marks this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the base MAL32X75CA, retaining the exact same mechanical specifications—delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the legacy MAL series with the MBL line, making the MBL32X75CA your direct upgrade. It matches the original 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting perfectly.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin, absorbing arcing loads common in cell-stacking and tabbing mechanisms. Unlike the riveted rolling-packed body of the newer MBL, the legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping rather than an adjustable air cushion, and because this specific configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support position sensing.

Where the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X75CA Is Used
Prismatic Cell Stacking
Provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to align and press prismatic lithium-ion cells into modules during automated stacking operations.
Tab Welding Clamp
Uses the 75 mm stroke to extend and hold battery tabs firmly in place under welding heads, with the CA pivot absorbing slight misalignment.
Pack Transfer Diverter
Swings on its CA clevis to route battery packs between conveyors, leveraging the 32 mm bore's 346 N pull force to retract the guide arm.
Replacing the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X75CA with B06-MBL32X75CA
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the MBL32X75CA. Confirm your 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. The CA pivot back cover must be retained to handle arcing loads during battery module transfer. Since this SKU lacks an -S suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor; if your battery line now requires end-of-stroke detection, upgrade to an MBL32X75SCA and use the current CMSG or DMSG switches instead of the obsolete CS1-M/DS1-M family. If you need adjustable end-cushioning to protect delicate battery tabs, step up to the MBLC32X75CA.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Remember that a plain bumper does not hold position if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock for vertical pack-handling safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the B06-MBL32X75CA (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-MBL32X75CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL32X75CA FAQ
Yes, the B06-MAL32X75CA battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL32X75CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application and does not change the physical specs.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors. If sensing is required, switch to the MBL32X75SCA and use CMSG/DMSG switches.
