This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B06-MBL40X110SCA, 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-MAL40X110SCA
The AirTAC B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL40X110SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 110mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B06-MBL40X110SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL40X110SCA
The AirTAC B06-MAL40X110SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix marks this as a battery-dedicated variant, though it is mechanically identical to the standard MAL40X110SCA, delivering 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC has replaced this legacy unit with the MBL40X110SCA, a direct upgrade retaining the exact 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU features a built-in -S magnet for position detection. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the 16 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating. The CA pivot back cover accommodates arcing loads, and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without acting as a position lock.

Where the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL40X110SCA Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the vertical stacking of prismatic battery cells, using the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to press layers firmly without damaging the thin pouch casing.
Module Tab Welding
Positions busbars against battery module terminals for laser welding, where the CA pivot back cover absorbs minor misalignment during the 110 mm extension.
Pack Handling Diverter
Actuates a diverter arm on a battery pack assembly conveyor, utilizing the 880 N push force at 0.7 MPa to redirect heavy modules at high cycling speeds.
Replacing the Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL40X110SCA with B06-MBL40X110SCA
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the MBL40X110SCA. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover match your existing fixture. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, note that the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches must be upgraded to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family used on the MBL. If your battery line requires adjustable cushioning instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32 mm bore reduces force to 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is unavailable as 40 mm is the maximum MAL bore. A plain MAL or MBL does not hold position when air is lost; the rod drifts. For vertical battery-cell stacking, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The 110 mm stroke is under the 300 mm threshold, so side-load bending is minimal, but the 16 mm rod still requires alignment to avoid premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the B06-MBL40X110SCA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same G1/4 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-MBL40X110SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac B06-MAL Battery-Specific Pneumatic Cylinder B06-MAL40X110SCA FAQ
Yes, the B06-MAL40X110SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X110SCA, which matches the 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The B06- prefix simply designated it for battery manufacturing; mechanically, the MBL replacement is identical. Note that the MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and the -S magnet requires upgrading to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
The 40 mm bore generates a push force of 628 N and a pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.1-1.0 MPa.
