The AirTAC Airtac B06-MI Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-MI12X125SU is a genuine double acting round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 125mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
Delivering 56.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the B06-MI12X125SU is a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-dedicated variant of the MI12X125SU, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but tailored in application scope for cell stacking and module handling. Its 12 mm bore operates on an M5x0.8 port, and the 125 mm stroke falls well within the 250 mm standard limit, making it a highly practical length for tabbing and indexing stations.
The riveted stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, a real advantage over painted alternatives in damp washdown zones. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. The U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight manifold routing. For actual work, plan for about 34 N of usable load at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Applies consistent 56.5 N pressure at 0.5 MPa to align lithium-ion prismatic cells during the stacking and bonding process.
Extends 125 mm to position battery module busbars precisely under a laser welding head using DMSG sensors.
Actuates a routing gate on a pack assembly conveyor, where the stainless build resists coolant mist and factory humidity.
When sizing this 12 mm bore, stepping down to an Ø8 unit drops the push force to just 25.1 N, whereas moving up to a Ø16 bore increases it to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This model includes the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and features a U-type back cover for 90-degree mounting. Standard LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets fit the ISO 6432 mounting interface, ensuring easy integration into standard battery-assembly machine frames.
Note that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. To hold a vertical load securely during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, at 125 mm of stroke, ensure the rod is guided to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 12 mm bore cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and a male M6x1.0 rod thread. It generates 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 79.1 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the MI12X125SU; it shares the exact same physical specs, including fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end (not an adjustable air cushion like the MIC variant). It also includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a U-type 90-degree back cover.
